I didn't mind the posting of the student attitudes email into our
environmental listserve. Attitudes is what drives changes. What I
thought was important from the story is that the environment didn't even
rate a mention. That scares me. And it means that for all the effort
we (the environmental field including non-profits, govt. and corporate)
make in education, it isn't a major concern of the next generation of
leaders and consumers.
We should be studying these attitudinal surveys and trying to figure out
what we are doing wrong. And fix it.
