Restrained Environmental Education
Sits within, does not adequately challenge and often embodies the consumerist, materialist culture that lies at the root of many social and environmental problems.
![Page 32: Restrained and Progressive Environmental Education](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062422/5681361c550346895d9d9062/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Progressive Environmental Education
Seeks to question the drivers of a consumer led economy directly with the aim of instigating a long term shift to a new sustainable culture.

‘Green living is largely something of a myth. There is this middle class environmentalism where being green is part of the desired image. But another part of the desired image is to fly off skiing twice a year. And the carbon savings they make by not driving their kids to school will be obliterated by the pollution from their flights.’
Stewart Barr
