Nature and culture affect each other in countless ways. Cultural Issues⇄Environmental Issues encourages students to look more deeply at how this delicate balance works―and at how human activity is threatening to destroy it. Written in precise, accessible English, each unit’s reading examines the cultural roots of an environmental problem while fully acknowledging that there is still hope. The text’s primary focus is on the lifestyle changes and decisions we as individuals must make to ensure our―and nature’s―survival. Cultural Issues⇄Environmental Issues is a primer for true world citizenship, turning the English classroom into an opportunity for greater cultural understanding, increased environmental awareness, and heightened sensitivity to the conditions of other peoples.
