Book Training for a Better Environment

Download or read book Training for a Better Environment written by Hugh Guthrie and published by . This book was released on 1995 with total page 102 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A study evaluated the need for environmental education and training in vocational education in South Australia. Data were collected from the following sources: consultations with representatives of 16 organizations in the business, government, and education sectors; survey responses from 298 of 1,430 (response rate 21%) contacted organizations/individuals concerned with environmental management; and survey responses from 27 of 37 (response rate 73%) graduates of programs in the disciplines of land management and environmental health. Most respondents believed that environmental management is increasingly becoming an issue in many jobs. Because of the diversity of environmental management training needs both across the spectrum of the industry and within individual organizations, careful market research and flexible methods for consulting/networking with industry will be required when developing environmental management components for vocational education programs in South Australia. (Sixteen tables/figures are included. Appendixes constituting approximately 40% of the document contain the following: initial project brief; National Centre for Vocational Education Research's response to the initial project brief; list of consultants; environmental management training needs questionnaire; tables summarizing the environmental education needs of volunteers and employees in managerial, professional, technical, administrative, operative occupations; and levels of in-house environmental education currently being provided. Contains 32 references.) (MN)

Book Teaching Environmental Health to Children

Download or read book Teaching Environmental Health to Children written by David W. Hursh and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-01-14 with total page 99 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Every day we are exposed to toxins and toxicants that can impact our health. Yet we rarely teach elementary and secondary students about these exposures and how they can reduce their risk to them. In this book we highlight activities and curriculum developed at nine universities in the United States from a grant funded by the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences. Our goal is to extend these lessons to a global audience and for classroom teachers of all subjects and age levels to include environmental health in their teaching. ‘An invaluable tool for equipping informed citizens to think about the environment and its human impacts --both the science, and equally important, the social and ethical dimensions’ , Howard Frumkin, M.D., Dr. P.H., Dean, School of Public Health, University of Washington, Seattle, WA, USA

Book Rethinking Work and Learning

Download or read book Rethinking Work and Learning written by Peter Willis and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2008-11-02 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rethinking a Sustainable Society Alan Mayne The world has already passed the midway point for achieving by 2015 the eight Millennium Development Goals for a “more peaceful, prosperous and just world” that were set by the United Nations in the wake of its inspirational Millennium Dec- 1 laration in 2000. These goals range from combating poverty, hunger, and disease, to empowering women, and ensuring environmental sustainability. However Ban Ki-Moon, the United Nations Secretary-General, conceded in 2007 that progress to date has been mixed. During 2008 the head of the United Nations World Food P- gramme cautioned that because of the surge in world commodity prices the program had insuf?cient money to stave off global malnutrition, and the World Health Or- nization warned of a global crisis in water and sanitation. Depressing news accounts accumulate about opportunities missed to achieve a fairer world order and ecolo- calsustainability:themanipulationofelectionresultsinAfrica,humanrightsabuses in China, 4000 Americans dead and another nation torn apart by a senseless and protracted war in Iraq, and weasel words by the world’s political leadership in the lead-up to negotiations for a climate change deal in 2009 that is supposed to stabilize global carbon dioxide emissions. It is clear that the parameters of the debates that drive progressive policy change urgently require repositioning and energizing.
