Sustainable living, or green living, is now widely covered in the popular press and media. Do you think this general coverage addresses the issue of environmental literacy? Why or why not? Provide specific examples as part of your answer
What will be an ideal response
Answers will vary, but here is a possible sample answer.
The popular press and media provide a superficial coverage of the real issues. To thoroughly understand the underlying concepts about sustainable lifestyles, one must delve deeper into the issues, challenges, and literature that thoroughly explain them.
For example, the popular press and media do not cover the particulars of such issues as soil conservation, sustainable water use, human population dynamics, environmental history, the three scientific principles of sustainability, or environmental ethics.
