绿色教育的意蕴与纲领

通常意义上的绿色教育即指环境教育,意在通过教育促进环境保护.但它经常需要借助环境来进行,而不是单纯依靠教师或专门的课程来进行.然而即便这种作为工具的环境也只是“环境教育的体系”或“环境教育的微观环境”,与作为保护的对象的外部大环境并不一致.“可持续发展教育”将环境问题与广泛的社会发展问题对接,但现实的教育依然只是一种与真实的社会与自然环境相脱离的实践.我们在脱离环境的条件下进行教育的替代办法,就是人为地建构一个学校教育的理性环境,个人的可持续发展在此依然缺位;事实上要改变我们的环境,必须首先改变我们自己.或者更确切地说,要保护好环境,必须首先保护好我们自己.因此,有必要重提一个国际性的、教育学意义上的、更为宽泛的环境概念,善待环境中的各种制度的、关系的、文化的、亚群体的和个人的资源,将教育真正建立在环境影响的基础之上,并致力于一个能平抑我们理性冲动的社会生态系统的建设.
