ABSTRACT
This chapter includes sample climate narratives, stories, and eco-poems woven within a context of EcoJustice, a theoretical framework that advocates action and wide involvement. EcoJustice Education recognizes diverse knowledge "about how to survive within a particular ecosystem and bioregion," recognizing how that knowledge exists within the context of "dependence upon the well-being of a specific set of living relationships". In climate change education, science and policy are just the beginning. Approaches to EcoJustice in the global south are obviously very different from those in Western/ized cultures, example how to discuss EcoJustice in Kenyan communities devastated by climate change. In rural Kenya, most children rise early to run long distances to fetch water from an ever-shrinking pond that diminishes daily due to extreme drought. Water rationing of pond water begins. In some cases, water is redirected underground to tourist destinations. Kenyan farmers shared stories about severe drought, unpredictable rainfall, and starvation in their communities.
