How can we make EE more enticing for educators and learners?

I don't know if the question is HOW, but WHEN. When will EE become more enticing for educators and learners. I know that it has got to be sometime soon, at least I hope so. When I look at the current state of the environment, it feels as though EE may be the only thing that can give any of us hope.

I think in order to make EE enticing, we have got to make the environment a top priority. Eventually the average joe will want to know what is really happening with global warming, climate change, deforestation, pollution, etc. I feel like when this begins to happen, and I think and hope it is now, people will want to learn about the environment and teachers will want to teach about the environment. I feel as though this is happening at smaller scales right now. If not, why would we be in this program at all? Why would Merry Lea exist?

In Texas, I would walk into my mentor's office at least weekly and complain about the common man. I would sit there and tell him that I was SO different from everyone and so was he and how could we ever expect anything to change. He told me every single time that I was being silly because so many people feel the same way and never say anything. One time, he even posed the question to one of my classes and every single person raised their hand.

So maybe the way to make EE more enticing is to speak about EE. To make EE matter and really advocate for it. Maybe there really are those people, like the rest of us that are everywhere and just need someone to hold their hand through the process. I think EE is enticing in itself. I think that it has to be one of the greatest things ever, especially when it comes to education. I just think people need to know about and to know about the issues. With this, EE is enticing in itself.
