Abstract

[The conclusion shows that the best environmental education takes place when teachers seek to expand students’ understanding of the world. There are a range of practical solutions for environmental destruction. They include ending capitalism, creating more parks, or blocking further immigration. Unfortunately, each of these suggestions would increase the abuse of the environment. Unless the tendencies for individualism, materialism, and conformity diminish, the environmental problems will escalate.]
