Global Environmental Justice

Global Environmental Justice Documentaries is a curated collection of 25 diverse, interdisciplinary documentaries produced by Face to Face Media, which plans to expand the collection over time. Offering creative responses to contemporary environmental issues, these films are insightful and will enhance students’ environmental literacy and inspire advocacy through artistic film imagery and authentic human stories. The environmental and social impacts of such global and local issues as consumerism, industrial development, colonization, and climate change provide dramatic insight into human stories and universal values.

Observing Systems

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) has significantly increased its commitment to promoting environmental literacy by adopting this effort as a strategic cross-cutting priority, forming an Office of Education and establishing an Education Council. Another of NOAA's strategic cross-cutting priorities is integrating global environmental observations and data management. NOAA possesses a vast array of observing systems that monitor oceanic, atmospheric, and terrestrial parameters. The streaming data from these systems offers broad opportunities to create real-time visualizations of dynamic Earth processes and to capture rare and spectacular events that occur on regional or global geographic scales. Making these visualizations available to and understandable by the general public is not an easy task. The potential return on investment however, is large. NOAA's Education Council realizes the educational potential that observing system data offer and has adopted Earth Observing Systems Education as a top priority. An effort is currently underway in NOAA to assess existing observing system education activities within and outside the Agency and to pilot education programs using the available streaming data. We will report on the process of assessment and on some of the pilot projects we have begun with a focus on a case study provided by the National Estuarine Research Reserve System (NERRS), a program that provides a fully operational network of integrated observing systems focused on the nation's estuaries.

Damage to the ecosystem and decline in the amount of biodiversity continues. Ecosystem damage due to human activities has become a global problem. This destructive activity reflects the low of the community’s environmental literacy. Environmental education can be a solution to improve community’s environmental literacy. The objectives of environmental education are (1) awareness; (2) knowledge; (3) attitude; (4) skills; and (5) participation. One effective method in environmental education is based on experiential learning. This article aims to explain the concept of environmental education based on experiential learning which can be an alternative integration of environmental education in schools. This article discusses the urgency of environmental literacy, how environmental education can improve environmental literacy, and detailed concepts of how to implement environmental education based on experiential learning in schools. Experiential learning-based environmental education means instilling Kolb’s learning cycle in learning and environmental education programs. The Kolb cycle consists of: (1) Concrete Experience; (2) Observation and Reflection; (3) Forming Abstract Concept; (4) Testing in New Situation. Experiential learning based environmental education will provide provisions for students to be able to design pro-environment actions or participate in providing solutions to environmental problems.

Service learning (SL) is a form of experiential learning in which students are involved in community service activities that are related to academic course objectives. A key aspect that separates SL from other forms of experiential learning is the mutually beneficial nature of the service activities. Much of the SL and international SL (ISL) literature has focused on positive learning outcomes for students, with much less focus on the benefits of SL to the community. Speech, Language, and Hearing Services (SLHS) in Zambia is an intensive SL short-term study abroad program. This paper describes the benefits to the community via the SLHS in Zambia program.
