GNEE encourages and supports the transition from modern education to ecological education. It urges people to say “NO” to the former that . . .

focuses on urban not rural life;
focuses on knowledge not wisdom;
focuses on the particular not the general;
focuses on competition not harmony;
focuses on knowing not doing;
focuses on modernity not traditions.
