Ecological Footprint

slide-8
SLIDE 8
  • Today humanity uses the equivalent of 1.5

planets to provide the resources we use and absorb our waste. This means it now takes the Earth one year and six months to regenerate what we use in a year.

  • Moderate UN scenarios suggest that if

current population and consumption trends continue, by the 2030s, we will need the equivalent of two Earths to support us. And

  • f course, we only have one.

Ranking countries by total and per capita Ecological Footprint produces very different

  • results. The Ecological Footprint of the top five countries makes up about half the global
  • total. Analysis of the 2014 National Footprint Accounts reveals that just two countries

generated 31 percent of the world’s total carbon Footprint: China (16 percent) and the USA (15 percent).

slide-12
SLIDE 12

Turning resources into waste faster than waste can be turned back into resources puts us in global ecological

  • vershoot, depleting the very resources on which

human life and biodiversity depend.

Discontent is essential

slide-16
SLIDE 16

That things have changed but not absolutely and that while these changes have produced new `first-order’ problems

STEPHEN J. BALL (1998)

slide-17
SLIDE 17

And the small voices said...

common educational responses to an un-sustainable world

* Understand the science

* Love and protect Nature * Do your bit as a responsible citizen

the mantra reuse, reduce, and recycle

slide-18
SLIDE 18

Care for the planet..!

  • We are in charge of the

planet? Its in our hands?

  • Look at the image: we

are implying we are literally outside of the

  • planet. Perhaps we can

say ‘I don’t want to care for it…’

  • The human race may be

in its own care but not the planet.

slide-19
SLIDE 19

But look, its everywhere...

  • In this common diagram

are shown three SD elements all existing without a context. They are ‘in balance’

  • The economy has no

boundary neither does society... But the environment does in reality

  • Its as naive just like the

image of ‘caring for the planet

slide-20
SLIDE 20

Give something up... do with less

  • And the reward for doing this is

what exactly?

  • In most choices the benefits

and losses are weighed, often monetarily, but for real ... Yet, when it comes to the environment an open ended ‘caring’ with little reward is expected.

  • Eco-Religion? Have faith, do

well and our reward is to follow in Life Everlasting (or planet everlasting in this case)

slide-21
SLIDE 21

Do your bit ... If we all...

  • Walk to school, buy

locally, switch off lights! And somehow its supposed to add up to a meaningful change, with the mantra ‘if only we all..’

  • We have forgotten the

Prisoner’s Dilemma (game theory) We won’t join in -unless the rules of the game change

slide-22
SLIDE 22

Recycling...!

Recycling is often

  • downcycling. -the product

is degraded. Its still a one way journey ‘take- make- dump’, just a bit slower! Its often expensive and environmentally and socially deleterious. It is the only one of the ‘four R’s’ -refuse, reduce, reuse, qnd recycle - which legitimises more consumption!

slide-23
SLIDE 23

Eco-efficiency is the answer!

Do more with Less. Another message of eco efficiency might be ‘we are doing the wrong thing less blatantly and intensively’. That doesn’t make it the right thing: it just buys time. And demand just keeps rising...

slide-24
SLIDE 24

Sustainability is boring

The messages are

so uninviting: ‘do with less’, ‘do it for the planet (with no reward)’ ‘its up to you’,and often misleading: ‘recycling works’, ‘if everybody..’ ‘clean is green’, ‘an eco school is a sustainable school’

slide-25
SLIDE 25

Where are we?

  • Our collective

efforts resemble walking North on a Southbound train (David Orr)

  • ...eco-efficiency is a

guilt-driven agenda that takes for granted - even institutionalizes - the antagonism between nature and industry (Wm McDonough)

slide-26
SLIDE 26

Rethinking - a job for education!

Imagination rules the world

(Napoleon)

You never change things by fighting against the existing

  • reality. To change something,

build a new model that makes the

  • ld model obsolete.

(Buckminster Fuller)

I have come to believe, after a decade’s work on this issue, that saving ourselves depends not on

  • ur ability to shock but rather to

inspire.

(Werbach)

The attracting potential of a desirable world is what human nature finds it easy to say yes to. And ultimately, as Wendell Berry wisely

  • bserves, pleasure

is what gets the job done.

slide-28
SLIDE 28

What should Education be?

To recognise the `problems’ of globalisation which frame and `produce’ the contemporary `problems’ of education To identify a set of generic `solutions’ to these problems and acknowledge their effects in educational reform and restructuring

STEPHEN J. BALL (1998)

Promoting Sound Policies in Practice

  • Put People in the center of development
  • Focus on learning skills development for lifelong

learning

  • Empower private sector and communities for

support & partnership of learning

  • Clear standards & Indicators and take national

perspectives.

  • Incentives for teachers (promotion) and students

(awards, getting accepted to good schools)

Note:

“Emotion and Cognitive Learning are not separate

entities; they work in tandem with one another”

Donna Walker Tileston, Ten best teaching practice, 2000

“In a world full of broken relationships, broken promises , and broken-hearts, a strong supportive relationship is important to students, while we cannot control the students’ environment

  • utside the classroom, We have tremendous control over their

environment for 7 hours each day, We have the power to create positive or negative images about education”
