How are citizenship and ecology connected? '

Poster board signs oscillate in a sea of citizens flooding city hall’s block. Slogans range from “Clean jobs now!” in black and white markers, to “Green Peace,” artfully painted on a canvas. The assembly ranges from teenagers holding Sierra Club signs, to old men with leathered and tanned skin in jeans and steel-toed boots standing silently. There is great diversity in environmental activism, yet this group represents a minority in the greater populace. Ensuring a sustainable future will require the majority of people to transform their current lifestyles. Communities act as the cocoons to metamorphose individuals into ecological citizens with strong beliefs rooted in sustainable justice and environmental stewardship.

Hope this helps.
