The Legacy: An Elder's Vision for Our Sustainable Future

In this expanded version of an inspiring speech delivered in December 2009, David Suzuki reflects on how we got where we are today and presents his vision for a better future. In his living memory, Suzuki has witnessed cataclysmic changes in society and our relationship with the planet: the doubling of the world's population, our increased ecological footprint, and massive technological growth. Today we are in a state of crisis, and we must join together to respond to that crisis. If we do so, Suzuki envisions a future in which we understand that we are the Earth and live accordingly. All it takes is imagination and a determination to live within our, and the planet's, means. This book is the culmination of David Suzuki's amazing life and all of his knowledge, experience, and passion -- it is his legacy.

This important book synthesizes sophisticated theory and inspiring stories of successful ecological education from elementary through college levels."--Frances Moore Lappe, author of "Democracy's Edge" and "Hope's Edge" (with Anna Lappe) "The ecological crisis is in part a crisis of education. This highly original volume makes a critical contribution to rethinking how we teach our children about their place in nature. The best book of its kind."--Michael Pollan, author of "The Botany of Desire" "This is a marvelous book. Zenobia Barlow and Michael Stone present a beautiful array of essays that embrace theory, philosophy and practice with spirit and substance. "Ecological Literacy: Educating Our Children for a Sustainable World" is a remarkable gift to environmental educators everywhere."--Bora Simmons, Past President, North American Association for Environmental Education
