Environmental Literacy in America General Content

"The Environmental Literacy in America report summarizes the findings of ten years of research and demonstrates that the average American adult, regardless of age, income, or level of education, mostly fails to grasp essential aspects of environmental science, important cause/effect relationships, or even basic concepts such as runoff pollution, power generation and fuel use, or water flow patterns. The report draws conclusions and makes recommendations for specific strategies for bringing the field of environmental education to a new level of public acceptance and its fullest potential.
