Some ways I think that I am environmentally literate:
Education classes
being outdoors
first fridays-- stands about the environment or community building
conversing with people about issues--- either environment, social, etc
reading articles
watching and reading the news
being up to dates of current events
recycling
buying local--trying
conserving electricity, water
not buying plastic water bottles
reusing plastic bags
riding my bike as much as I can
thrift shopping
environmental conventions
flea markets
farmers markets
natural food stores
Things that I need to work on, where I am illiterate would be that I'm not active enough by trying to get people aware. I need to spread the word and knowledge to friends and family and other people who don't necessarily care, and try to get them up to date on why they should care or at least know about the environment. Try to change my "natural behavior." Try to learn more, active methods ways of learning that will generate change for the better.
Human nature is very hard to change. From the readings it is clear that the human being is a very complicated being. And I think what I need to take into consideration is that there are ways to approach human nature and change but that just takes a lot of work. change is slow, nothing is easy.
