In recent years, Michaela Zint, an associate professor of environmental education and communication at the University of Michigan, found herself fielding an increasing number of calls from fellow environmental educators. All expressed a similar concern: how to evaluate their programs.
Environmental educators - whether K-12 teachers or instructors working for government agencies or non-profit organizations including universities - expressed a strong need for information to assess the quality of their programs.

Ph.D., 1984, University of Michigan
We must learn to respond to diminishing material and energy abundance while we address climate disruption caused by our past consumption. This bio-physical reality is inevitable. What is not inevitable, however, is the nature of our response. I’m heartened by Antonio Gramsci’s notion of a “pessimism of the intellect; optimism of the will.” While the resource descent we face will be historic, so too can be our response.
