Their offerings include websites, informative reports, and professional development guides, available in both print and online formats. The Council envisions classrooms as dynamic spaces where students can grasp the nuances of environmental challenges, and they believe teachers are vital to this mission. Through these resources, the Environmental Literacy Council champions the importance of environmental understanding in shaping our health, economy, and relationship with nature.
