7 Important Disciplinary Behaviours of Outdoor Environmental Educators

-recycling, reusing, reducing, repurposing: their own stuff and other people’s

-doing, leading, and sharing outdoor activities

-loving non-humans (plants, animals, rocks, water, and more…)

-getting information from alternative sources

-wearing comfortable footwear habitually

-living in a zone of mental calmness and flexibility

-eating local, organic, sustainable food

Are these habits mainly based on the root assumptions of the discipline? Do they help me identify the core values?  I’m getting there.  Definitely a connection and respect for everything else that lives and exists on the planet is a big part of outdoor education.
