̶ Environmental planners decide how to use land to meet the
needs of people and nature.
̶ They have a focus on sustainability, which is development that
meets the needs of the world at the present without stopping
the world from being able to meet the needs of people and
nature in the future.
̶ An environmental planner may work on reducing the
environmental impacts of construction projects, such as
housing, transportation or industrial buildings on the natural
world, or may be involved in protecting existing built
environments from flooding or coastal erosion.
̶ Environmental planners use maps in their work to monitor
changes in buildings, roads and to detect loss of habitats for
wildlife, and also to make plans for the future by analysing
what has happened in the past.

Critical Thinking
Critical Thinking is the ability to think clearly, actively,
skillfully and rationally when provided information, then
making logical choices, decision and opinions.
Ecological Thinking
Ecology demonstrates how eco-systems are not just a collection of species, but
are also relational systems that connect humans, as organic systems, with
animals and plants – It stimulates an increased understanding that the world
is fundamentally interconnected and interdependent (Hes and Du Plessis,
2014).

Ecological thinking requires a broadening of identity in how we see

ourselves in relationship to the world around us.
Sean Esbjörn-Hargens (2010) describes this ‘widening of identity’ as a
transition from ‘me’ (egocentric) to ‘my group ‘(ethnocentric) to ‘my country’
(sociocentric) to ‘all of us’ (worldcentric) to ‘all beings’ (planetcentric) to finally
‘all of reality’ (Kosmoscentric).

The challenge of ecological thinking requires altering our assumptions,

attitudes, to understand that we are participating in, and co-evolving with
nature (Eisenberg and Reed, 2003).

In other words, in order to engage with the world from an ecological

perspective, we need to see ourselves as part of (rather than above) nature –
to engage with the ‘human’ aspects of our context in relationship to the
biophysical context (Hes and Du Plessis, 2014).
