Summary

"This collection of environmental education and communication (EE&C) projects shows us literally what works: how to teach people about the environment and encourage them to care for it. Based in schools, neighborhoods, parks - even in the streets - these case studies give readers a sense of the breadth and ingenuity of EE&C today."--BOOK JACKET.
