What is Eco literacy ?
●Eco-Literacy or ecological literacy is ability to use understanding of ecology in
life to study the environment (Alfianto,Kalyanto and Harlita 2019)
●It is also the ability to understand the organization of natural systems and the
process that maintain the healthy functioning of living system and sustain life on
earth (Wohl 2017)
The Aim of Ecological Literacy
●The Aim of Ecological Literacy to create a frame of mind that recognizes
relations and interdependency with the natural world in support with the
development of the new capacities to create sustainable way of living.
Environmental Literacy - Develop problem solving skills from diagnosis to action , Develop a system

How to be Eco literate?
1. “Develop empathy for all forms of life” One of the things you can
teach kids is to have the compassion for all forms of life big or
small. You have to let them know that all of us are interconnected.
2. “Embrace sustainability as a community practice” with other

living things also teaches us of our interdependence with our
community. The community, when working as one, will make our
environmental goals more sustainable.
3. “ Make the invisible visible” knowledge is
a power. When we work together to educate
everyone especially our kids, to be more
aware of what is happanening with our
enviroment the more and more venues will be
open that is accessible to many.
4. “Anticipate unintended consequence” teaching our students the
cause and effect of certain human actions will help them to be
more cautions and predict what might happen
5. “Understand how nature sustains life” teaching our students that
nature is the basis of life and that it sustains life will make then
care for environment better.
Characteristic an Eco literate
Person
an inquirer who actively secures the basic skills and knowledge in order to
carry out ecological responsibilities. This also enables her to reach her own
potential and place in physical and natural environment.
a reflective learner who understand the value and limitations of human

knowledge, the power and limitations of the natural world, the role of intuition
in real life pursuits, and the role of self as it is manifested in one's personal
narrative.
intelligently self-directed who engages in self-appraisal, setting new
learning objectives, developing plans to achieve those objectives,
carrying out such plans in a flexible inquiry-oriented manner, while
reflecting on the whole process.
Morally responsible who governs actions with precepts
(responsibility, seeking justice and equality for all) that maintain
harmonious relationship
an ecologically responsible person by embodying ecological ideals in
daily operations and by living in the most competent, informed
manner allowed by natural capabilities.
7 Principle of Eco literacy
1. Nature knows best
This principles is the most basic and in fact encompasses all the others humans have to understand
nature and have to abide by the rules nature dictates in essence one must go not against the natural
processes if one would like to ensure a continuous and steady supply of resources. One natural
process that needs serious attention is the Nutrient cycling in nature nutrients pass from the
environment to the organisms and back to the environment any disruption in the cycle can bring
about imbalance. Our nature knows everything sometimes it knows what is best for us.
2. All forms of life are important
-each organism plays a fundamental role in nature since such occupational or functional
position otherwise known as niche cannot be simultaneously occupied by more than one
species. It is apparent that all living things must be considered as inviolable in the
maintenance of homeostasis in the ecosystem .
3. Everything is connected to everything else

-This principle is best exemplified by the concept of the ecosystem. In an ecosystem in all
biotic and amniotic components interact to each other to ensure that the system is
perpetuated any outside interference may result in an imbalance in the deterioration of the
system .
4. Everything changes
- is said that the only permanent thing is change . Our world are constantly changing and
nothing is permanent anymore. Even each day humans try to change their living to fit into
the world
5. Everything must go somewhere
- when a piece of paper is thrown away it disappears from sight but it does not cease to exist it ends
up elsewhere. Everything goes somewhere and nothing goes nothing it has it owns own way to go
6. Ours is a finite earth
- just how long would be the earth be able to sustain demands its resources. This is a question that
needs serious reflection unless the factors of population growth, lifestyle and polluting technologies
are checked the collapse of the earth might be inevitable
7. Nature is beautiful and we are the stewards of God's creation
- among all creatures humans are the only ones made in God's image and have been given the right to
have dominion over all his creations. Being the most intelligent and gifted with reason humans are
capable of manipulating creation to their own advantage we are not made to rule the world but to
help the world. Humans are God's creation and we need to take care of everything.
Thank you
for
listening!
