In this talk at the 2015 NYSAIS Head Conference, Oberlin College Professor David Orr explores the growing gap between the hopes, dreams, and expectations of young people and the declining vital signs of the Earth, the most important of which is rapid climate change. Orr argues that between optimism and despair there is a third possibility: Hope and hope is a verb with its sleeves rolled up. But how do we engender hope and ecological competence? This talk focuses on the work of the Oberlin Project.
