| Abstract: |
The activity's punchline: How my students and their families navigate choices related to their consumption is the critical determinant of whether the Earth remains habitable. For years, I would coax my 9th graders into the dreary, windowless computer lab for 10-15 minutes so they could complete an online ecological footprint calculator. I wanted students to see that first-world consumption patterns were unsustainable. [Extracted from the article] |
