Abstract

[Extract] As all environmental educators know, we are living through a critical time in the history of humankind. There are political, industrial and economic forces rapidly propelling humanity toward disastrous social and environmental conditions entirely of our own making. We have lost for ourselves the relatively pleasant conditions of the Holocene and have entered a dramatically unstable period now commonly described as the Anthropocene (a catchy and critiqued neologism), and a time also analysed as the Capitalocene (Haraway 2016b). In transformative resistance, there are vast, interconnected social and educational movements struggling against these business as usual (BAU) trajectories, with many hundreds of millions of people seeking more equitable and desirable relationships between humans and the exquisite, living planet we call our only home.
