Environmental education is essential to developing a healthy, sustainable society. Many of our current environmental problems are due to widespread ignorance of basic ecological facts of life, especially among our elected officials. In addition, special interest groups and lobbyists are deliberately spreading false information which further confuses our political leaders.
To counteract this problem, we need well funded, scientifically accurate and carefully designed educational courses in our grade schools and colleges, to raise the overall awareness of the public and elected officials.
Our young people need to learn basic natural resource and survival information from a young age, to ensure that future generations will understand the value and importance of pollution controls, resource conservation and wildlife habitat protection.
