Imaginative Ecological Education
aims to nurture students’ personal relationships
with the natural and cultural contexts in which they
live through frequent engagement of the body,
emotion, and imagination in learning. To achieve
this, the possibility for emotional and imaginative
engagement offered by the cognitive tools approach
as outlined in Kieran Egan’s theory of Imaginative
Education (IE) is paired with focused attention on
engaging the body and context.

Play
the Great Green Web Game
This game tests your knowledge of how consumer choices affect the environment. As you answer questions and 'shop green' the Envirometer gauges the cumulative impact of your choices. The centerpoint on the Envirometer represents the impact of an average American household -- at the end of the game you can compare this average to your own impact on air quality, water quality, natural habitats, and the sustainability of our climate. |

EOLSS “In the past, equipment in the intensive care units of hospitals were referred to as ‘life support systems’ until global concerns about human activities and their impact on our planet came to the fore. The first Earth Summit of 1992, held in Rio de Janeiro, issued a document that is now famous as Agenda 21. This document refers to the Earth’s life support systems, considering the whole of our planet as a grand intensive care unit which supports all forms of life. The EOLSS is based on this concept and the above definition of ‘life support systems’. |
