Importance of Literacy
As society changes, so do the needs and expectations for literacy. New literacies are exposed and incorporated based on the demands of the society. A more recent literacy, is the Environment Literacy. The goal is to learn about Environmental Literacy and being to take that new knowledge and apply it to living sustainably.
Environmental sustainability refers to the potential longevity of a process, in terms of what natural resources it might draw on, how they are used or replenished, the overall impact of the final product on the environment and where it ends up following disposal. In essence, an environmentally sustainable process is one that contributes to keeping the environment healthy or "alive" by not consuming non-renewable resources, or contributing in other ways to the depreciation of the environment.

Why choose this format to share the information?
I chose a Weebly because I like that I could choose the format I wanted to use to make it easier to navigate. I could choose the information I wanted to display and easily reference that information in a tab for easy navigation. It also gives the freedom for people to look at what ever category they would like. They are not restricted to one long page that they have to read to figure out the information they need. This allows them to choose if they want to know what it is, the history of it, how to use it in a classroom, as well as examples of how to apply the specific area of literacy. If parents, teachers, or students want more resources for look at for activities or more information, there is an easily accessible resources tab! When new information becomes available, a Weebly webpage is easy to edit and add to, to provide the most up to date information for readers. Remember, everyone can become Environmentally Literate! Enjoy!
