Eco-Education
Environmental issues are surrounded by confusing terminology that differ from government to government, business to business and individual to individual. As a society we need to ensure that we are all using and understand the same definitions of eco-action, or else we will all be aiming for different goals.

Why should you join?
People should join if they care about spreading the true definitions and goals of environmental action within their local areas and beyond. Education of environmental issues is the key factor in progressing towards a more sustainable society, so individuals who join will be the building blocks of eco-communities.

How can we help people to understand the true purpose of sustainable development?
Sustainable Development - what is it?
Most people will not be able to give one specific definitive answer to this question. Environmental terminology has become so confusing and misused that certain phrases are now interchangeable when they should not be.
Sustainable development...is now strongly allied with the concept of environmental action. But this is not true! Environmental activity is a part of sustainable development, yet the two terms have become virtually synonymous.
