Abstract

Ecological literacy is one of the alternatives for the more mainstream concept of environment literacy, which makes the goal of Environment Education. Compared to environment literacy, which focus on transforming the learning of the individuals through schools, ecological literacy adopts the idea of relationship between living organisms and ecosystems, and links it with the idea of religiosity or spirituality through various learning mechanism. This research is written as an effort to understand the prospect and the limit of social media use for ecological literacy learning, led by women. Availing from the massive subscription of social media among Indonesians and their significant share of information on sustainable living, the study seeks to probe on whether social media has shifted people’s conception on place and experience, which are fundamental to the value formation on human-environment relation in ecological literacy. From a combined online and offline ethnography, the study found that social media, instead of weakening ecological literacy learning, may restitute people-place relations through information and connectivity it facilitates.
