 * Environmental Attitudes Reading Notes **

To help people understand and support environmentally friendly policies, consider programs that personalize environmentalism: demonstrate 'costs' to families or how can be achieved through simple, incremental changes in personal behavior. (p 10) (Lindsay Poirier) Indifferent Americans are likely to be immune to images of environmental trauma and destruction. (p 11) (Lindsay Poirier)

Anja Kollmuss & Julian Agyeman, "Mind the Gap: why do people act environmentally and what are the barriers to pro-environmental behavior? //Environmental Education Research//, Vol. 8, No. 3, 2002

A valid argument could be made that environmental knowledge is a subcategory of environmental awareness (as does Grob, 1991) and that emotional involvement is what shapes environmental awareness and attitude. This difficulty in defining and delimiting the different factors is due to the fact that most are broadly and vaguely defined, interrelated, and often do not have clear boundaries. (p 248) (Lindsay Poirier)

David Orr, "Framing Sustainability," //Conservation Biology//, April 2006. [|OrrDavid2006FramingSustainability.pdf]
 * Framing Sustainability Reading Notes **

"Lincoln’s example is instructive to us because he understood the importance of preserving the larger framework in which the lesser art of defining particular issues might proceed with adequate deliberation, which is to say that he understood that the art of framing issues is a means to reach larger ends. In our time many things that ought to be and must be sustained are in jeopardy, the most important of which are those qualities Lincoln used in defining the specific issue of slavery: clarity, courage, generosity, kindness, wisdom, and humor." (Lindsay Poirier)

Matt Ridley and Bobbi Low, " [|Can Selfishness Save the Environment?] " //The Atlantic Monthly.// September 1993.

"We conclude that the cynicism of the economist and the biologist about man's selfish, shortsighted nature seems justified. The optimism of the environmental movement about changing that nature does not. Unless we can find a way to tip individual incentives in favor of saving the atmosphere, we will fail. " (Lindsay Poirier)
