Big green groups: Pool together resources to help teachers in their quest to make students' ecologically fluent. Journalists: Expose the agenda of this corrosive curriculum. Enlighten and motivate citizens to action. Parents: Demand that corporate America be tarred and feathered and chased out of the education business, or should I say corporations in the miseducation business. That your children be given exciting, lifelong science learning. Education organizations: Demand that corporate sponsored curriculum be put through a detailed screening process. Expose the sham and shame of education by Weyerhaeuser, ExxonMobil and API. Filmmakers: Make documentaries and "student friendly" visuals that document mountain top removal, extinction of species, peak oil, the insanity of an economic system that is based on devouring our own life support system (we cannot depend on Viacom, General Electric and Disney to provide this on their corporate TV channels). Teachers: know this, our students are hungry for real science that they can feel, see and stirs a gut reaction. They are hungry for becoming "doers", they are hungry for curriculum that stimulates thought and debate, that breeds passion and desire to ensure our planet's resources exist well into the future.
Teachers: Say no Concoco-Philips' self-contrived educational myths of clean coal or American Petroleum Institute's oil-soaked diatribes that "we have enough to power 60 million cars and heat 160 million households for 60 years" or PLT's mantra of we can have it all: by cutting our natural forests and replacing them with sterile monocultures. The "science of death" has no place in our schools, our workplace or in our society. Teach that.
