The Concept of Environmental Education

Within the past 50 years, the united states
Has become a predominately urban nation, both in
Thought and in physical character. Large and
Middle-sized communities, many within complex
Urban regions, have evolved to where over 70
Percent of this country's population resides on one
And one-half percent of the nation's land surface.
By 1980, eight out of ten americans will probably
Live in an urban environment. Consequently, the
Independent rural-oriented living that once character-
Ized this country's social and political heritage is no
Longer a dominating influence in the lives of most
