The current educational system promotes, and develops paradigms that are inherently unhealthy for the natural world and for humans. Even the current environmental education programs are not successful because they try to solve environmental problems using the same paradigms that created environmentally destructive behaviors in the first place. The problem is, information alone will not inspire people to change their paradigms. People need to have a direct relationship with the landscape so a paradigm shift is motivated by a sense of care rather than obligation.
