Planting an idea: a guidebook to critical and creative thinking about environmental problems

Abstract

"In Planting an Idea, authors Jerry Apps and Natasha Kassulke explore how critical and creative thinking can be applied to today's most pressing environmental concerns. Beginning with an overview of the environmental movement, the authors then explore both critical and creative thinking and systematically apply these methods to a wide variety of critical environmental problems. Starting with a background for each, the authors explore current critical environmental issues including those associated with climate change, agriculture, forests, water, energy, air quality, natural resources, land use, endangered species, and biodiversity. Each chapter offers an overview and analysis of the problems linked to these issues, providing action steps that can be applied, and offering readers powerful tools with which they can combat environmental problems"--
