Thoughts on Environmental Education

My idea of what environmental education was a couple years ago was pretty simple- I thought of it as a field of work for those scientifically minded to educate us not so scientifically minded about how to be stewards of the earth. Obviously, my thoughts on this matter have changed, as I am here involved in the program as one of those not so scientific sort of folks. Perhaps science might not be my forte, however passion for the environment is. I look at all of us in the office right now, staring at our laptops as we finish up last minute homework, and smile because here we are in a field that is so beautifully diverse that it encompasses people from all walks and backgrounds of life. That's is incredible. And that is how we are going to make a difference in this life- different types of individuals, bringing with them their different gifts, all for the common goal of protecting the environment and educating kids for the future. Brilliant.
