Healing Earth 

LOYOLA University Chicago 

Healing Earth, is a free, online environmental science textbook for upper level secondary school students, beginning college students, and adult learners. We invite teachers around the world to use this resource in their classrooms and share their experience with us. Healing Earth is an ongoing project, so we hope that everyone – teachers, young students, adult learners – will join us in continually improving this textbook.

Healing Earth presents a unique approach to six major ecological challenges of our time:

• declining biodiversity
• natural resource depletion
• shift to renewable energy
• water quality and availability
• food quality and availability
• global climate change

Unlike any other environmental science textbook, Healing Earth presents an integral, global, and living approach to the ecological challenges we face on our extraordinary planet.
