Murphy, P (2016) Resource Blindness In Young People As Exemplified In The United Kingdom – Another Reason Why We Need To Teach Geology. ASRO Journal of Education, 1 (1). pp. 23-26.
Abstract
Young people in the United Kingdom often do not appreciate the geological origins of the advanced the materials used in their technology and clothing or how dependent they are on fossil fuels. This results in a failure to appreciate the extent of their lifestyles environmental impact. We as educators need to ensure they understand the origin, distribution of the geological resources they are using along with the extraction methods used so they are able to make environmentally informed lifestyle choices.
