What kind of understanding does ecological literacy entail?

- Garret Hardin said ecological literacy is being able to ask “What then?”...“'What then?' questions have not come easy to us despite all of our formidable advancements in other areas.”

- “comprehension of the dynamics of the modern world”

- “thorough understanding of the ways in which people and whole societies have become destructive”
