EEA Report “EEA Signals 2010: stories about people and the environment
Article Type: News From: International Journal of Sustainability in Higher Education, Volume 11, Issue 3
EEA Signals 2010 tells six stories about people and the environmental issues they live with today. These “eyewitnesses” seek to take readers on a journey to both familiar and distant places looking again at the foundations of life on earth – water, soil and air. Although their observations are personal and local, their plight is common and global. These are not intended as simple anecdotes; the wisdom of ordinary people, such as hunters, farmers, hill walkers and sports enthusiasts, offer an often untapped resource of information to complement our satellite images and research. In “Signals”,ordinary people observe how changes to their environment affect not only animal and plant life, but also their livelihood and lifestyle.
