Gifted students’ concerns about the world and the impact of commonplace practices on the environment need to be honored and given voice. Ecological literacy goes far beyond environmental education. The emphasis of ecological literacy centers on a sense of place and the interdependency that exists between each individual and the planet including how individual decisions affect the world. Ecological literacy has been defined as "the ability to ask 'What then?'.” Gifted students are particularly suited for asking such questions. This interactive session explains ecological literacy and describes hands-on service projects that allow gifted students to put their disquietude into action.
