Abstract
The Earth Literacy Program provides a
foundation of knowledge enabling students to
perceive the universe as a network of
relationships and the capacity to critically
assess those relationships. This encourages
reflection on the human relationship,
individually and as a species. The Transition
Movement provides an example of relating to
the earth and local community in a way that is
reverent toward all life. The Transition Town
Movement counters the domination aspect of
our culture because it mimics the natural
processes of life. In fact, creativity, emergence,
equality, diversity, and networking of living
systems are the values of this movement.
Domination and hierarchy are viewed as
unhelpful and part of the problem.
