What kinds of creative & empathetic thinking are a part of ecoliteracy?

- Creative approach to problems

- “insight” from human time-scale to understand other living systems

- empathy for other living creatures

- avoid overly subjective or teleologic (purposeful change/design) approach of science (speaking here about “intelligent evolution” theory)
