With an ultimate goal of promoting a more environmentally literate student body prepared to confront pressing local and global concerns such as climate change, management of natural resources, and human over-population, this project examines why current ecological crises demand immediate and comprehensive environmental education. From basic agricultural to complex technological issues, I argue society's obligation to educate the millennial generation in ways that prepare them for the future they will inherit. Linking environmental and social justice concerns, each chapter explores how the way we engage with literature can influence such change in our schools. Offering literary exemplars at primary, middle, secondary, and higher levels, analyses consider ways educators can promote environmental consciousness through pedagogical initiatives in the humanities. This study provides a rationale for literature as a transformative platform for ecocritical and ecopsychological education paradigm shifts and reviews models for implementation from primary through post-secondary schools.

520 $a Addressing the work of environmental educators such as David W. Orr and Kathleen Dean Moore and activists such as Alice Waters, each chapter offers successful educational program practices. I review environmentally relevant classic and contemporary fiction frequently taught in public schools as well as a selection of popular science fiction and fantasy. Throughout, this fiction inquiry is balanced by data and commentary environmentalist writers such as Wendell Berry, Bill McKibben, and Paul Hawkens provide. Moving toward interdisciplinary applications, fiction and non-fiction authors' perspectives foster discussion regarding how educators and students might understand, empathize, and act on social and environmental justice issues. Further, by emphasizing the powerful role our schools can assume in navigating local and global conflicts related to environmental sustainability, I urge decision makers in individual districts, buildings, and classrooms to lead reform. To that end, I consider how global perspectives and global citizenry can be nurtured along with place-based education that makes concrete the concerns of students and their international counterparts. My process and conclusions suggest that we change the well-documented dismal ecological trajectory we currently face as a nation and world by educating and preparing today's students for the consumer choices and practices they will make every day.
