Canada: Environmental Citzenship• all Canadians should be good environmental citizens; this requiresscientifically credible educational resources that support increasedenvironmental literacy;• communities and organizations should implement sustainabledevelopment practices; this requires working collaboratively withpartners on environmental training for managers, professionals andothers in the workplace.Environmental Citizenship StrategyPrimaryActivitiesPrimaryOutputsSecondaryActivitiesResultsShapeContentLearningResourcesEnvironmentCanadaDeliveryEnvironmentallyLiterateCitizensCulture ofEnvironmentalCitizenshipRecruitPartnersPartnershipsDelivery ofEducationProgramsEnvironmentallyLiterateInstitutionsFigure 2. Canada’s Environmental Citizenship Strategy.Five mutually-supporting objectives have been identified to support these aims:Establish an education agendaThe volume of environmental information and its relevance to daily life isone of the biggest problems confronting environmental educators. They areseeking directions on what to teach. Environment Canada has certainobjectives it wants to achieve and it has scientific credibility with educators.In a situation of mutual interest, Environment Canada has created a familyof basic resources in the form of primers. An overview primer onenvironmental citizenship introduces the series and defines a minimum levelof environmental literacy that all Canadians could reasonably be expected toachieve; others address themes - global warming, fresh water, ozonedepletion, spaces and species, waste management.97
Planning education to care for the earthThe primers, written at grade 8 readability levels, serve as resources forschools, communities and organizations that provide environmentaleducation programmes. They provide information that educators may use todevelop products and programmes for specific audiences, and are seen as ameans of engaging other federal government departments and provincialgovernments in a shared environmental education agenda.Develop secondary education productsThe primers contain bodies of information that others will use in developing“retail” education products. Environment Canada also has its own secondaryproducts, formerly issued on an ad hoc basis. They are now required tosupport the same themes as the primers. There are three kinds of product:fact sheets (for use mainly in high schools and colleges); “idea snapshots”(3-4 pages documents, highly illustrated, on particular environmental ideassuch as composting or smog); and “messages” (“bullets” of informationaddressing important environmental citizenship ideas or actions,accompanied by supporting facts).98
