It is
possible that educational theorists continue to frame the issue of social
justice in ways that continue to exclude environmental issues because they
write from a largely urban perspective. ……
The
source of water, the condition of the soil that yields the fruits and
vegetables, the ecosystems and human communities displaced or degraded by the
technologies that provide the city’s energy are out of sight, and thus
largely out of mind. …..
Without
an everyday awareness of the complex relationships between ecosystems and the
political economy of transforming Nature into goods and services, the average
urban dweller’s perception of reality depends largely on images designed
to promote consumerism.
Today’s Green Thought comes from the introduction of the
2001 book ‘Educating for Eco-Justice
and Community’ by the american education-theorist C.A.Bowers.
