You are an environmental educator working for an organization that provides classroom programs on various environmental, ecological, and action taking themes. There has been an on-going controversy about creating a landfill in a low socio economic part of your community. Teachers from this part of the community that you have actually been trying to target have called and wondered if you can cover this topic in their classroom. What do you do?

How is your response influenced by:

 …. your definition or philosophy of EE?
…. the educational approaches you use in the classroom?
….your understanding of the issue?
….your comfort in discussing environmental justice issues?

How will this decision influence…

…Your relationship with staff in this school?
…Your reputation in various sectors in the community?
…Your ability to be more inclusive?
