ABSTRACT
Ecolinguistics, in particular the analysis of speciesism, can inform environmental education and human–animal studies. Furthermore, critical pedagogy can inform the application of the six United Nations Environmental Education objectives to the understanding and reform of animal agriculture, the industry which uses nonhuman animals to produce food products for humans, with little regard to the welfare of the nonhumans. All of these education efforts can benefit from the application of Social Interdependence Theory, such as the use of cooperative learning.
