EE should embrace ecosocialism, as capitalism is incompatible with environmental protection
Environmental education (EE) often discusses individual pro-environmental behaviors and single-issue problems, without addressing the economic pressures of capitalism that contribute to environmental issues. In this paper, the researcher dissected three reasons that the capitalist system is incompatible with environmental wellbeing using the COVID-19 global pandemic as a case study. The researcher then presented ecosocialism as an alternative system to replace capitalism, defining four foundational concepts of this system. What follows is the researcher's argument and personal belief.
