Environmental education: A blueprint for achievement?
- Environmental Protection Agency, Gulf Breeze, FL (United States). Environmental Research Lab.

The present national effort devoted to environmental education (EE), particularly as it relates to K-12 education, is examined and indexed to other current events and their support levels. For the most part, EE efforts are embedded in science, mathematics, and engineering programs (SME), and the relationships to these other areas are discussed. In the present context, many aspects such as social, ethical, and religious consideration of EE are not addressed. The relationships between EE and the expectation for scientific literacy (SL) and improved environmental decision-making in both short- and long-term contexts are also examined. Under existing programs, the prognosis for serious, effective accomplishment, or credible impact on universal EE literacy or enhanced decision-making, is doubtful.
