After watching this week's lecture video on Misconceptions About Science
, we are going to spend some thinking about environmental literacy. The National Science Foundation's Advisory Committee for Environmental Research and
Education says that "creating a scientifically informed citizenry requires a concerted, systematic approach to environmental education."
Do you agree with this statement from the National Science Foundation?
Do you think environmental education should focus on increasing just environmental knowledge alone? Or do you think attitudes and behaviors are just as
necessary to focus on?
Please explain your thoughts, and draw on your personal feelings and experiences
