    Monty Hempel says ecoliteracy gives people knowledge about environmental he says it does not always work to get them to change their behavior.

    el wrote part of the Worldwatch Institute's latest State of the World says in his article, “Some people think that ecoliteracy is just a green form of science what I have tried to ask is whether that's other words, what an ecologically－literate person needs to know might include things like the cycles and the flows, the energy systems, all of those kind of things that we would call the science of ecology.”

    “That doesn't seem to lead to action to protect our environment—to protect our life－support system to the level that we need because we know a lot about the environment doesn't mean that we actually act to save r all, actions speak louder than knowledge.”

   He adds that people may not be very worried about environmental problems if they seem far away.“Some people call it psychological distance.A lot of climate issues are worse in the Arctic and most of us don't spend time in the so, there's a certain there's also a distance that's happening in the world as it urbanizes—people spending more time in front of screens and less time out in become, if you will, disconnected from the natural systems that used to be the key to success for a human being.”
