So we have all seen the news about Alaska and the houses that are sinking. We all know that the ice is melting, the glaciers are retreating.... yet what are we doing about it ?
Children tend to have a genuine concern for all things green. It is obvious to them. Yet the parents of these kids have other things on their minds. Most seem to have debts that are very very scary... yet all we want them to do is to consume more. We want them to buy bigger houses, bigger cars or (ahem apologies for swearing) SUVs. Cheap air travel means that we can all jet around for more vacations at remote destinations. I have not even mentioned the huge profits made by the oil companies!!
What should we do?
Where should we start?
To me it seems that teachers have the biggest role in shaping the future... but are they are aware of the issues? Do they have the bandwidth to make a start? Or are they buried under the demands of the system to produce the next generation of consumers ?
