Ecopedagogy Response

   In this piece by Richard Kahn, the subject is purely the environment and the education of the people who inhabit it. The problem Kahn attempts to present to the reader, and does so quite well, is that people are not very informed about their surroundings.  He brings up various,alarming facts such as 45 million Americans think the ocean is a source of fresh water. That very fact informs the reader, and me, there is a string need for more environmental education in our society. Honestly, it scares me even to think that such common knowledge is not exactly so common for a large sum of people. If we do not change our academic ways we will be facing a serious issue of sustainability on our planet in the near future. Kahn presented this serious argument and I totally agree with him because we wont be able to fix this problem if nobody knows there is one.
