According to the environmental wisdom worldview, "all efforts to promote sustainability are local and personal." How do you look at this concept? Do you think all sustainability efforts are local and personal, or national/global and impersonal? Explain.

What will be an ideal response?


The environmental wisdom worldview believes humans are part of the "community of life and the ecological processes that sustain all life." Because we are part of this community, to sustain the community is to sustain ourselves, our civilizations, and our economies. As such we sustain ourselves. Students should reflect the integrated nature of humans with the rest of the community of life. Our success as a species is dependent, to a great part, on the success of the biosphere.
