Eco Schools: Educating for Sustainable Communities FRITJOF CAPRA, CHERYL CHARLES, and DAVID ORR

“Alfred North Whitehead, in what is a classic of educational literature, described the goal of education is to help young people fall in love with the world. In our case it’s fall in love with the natural world. And that’s not something that happens from as he called it third-handed book learning. It happens in direct contact with the world.”

Fritjof Capra, co-founder of the Center for Ecoliteracy, and leading environmental educators Cheryl Charles and David Orr explore what’s working for the A+ schools that are successfully integrating ecological awareness, understanding and practices through the curriculum and the community.
