According the dictionary, agrarianism is the movement for equitable distribution of land and for agrarian reform. With the environment in the condition it is in today, it is quickly continuing to go downhill and will continue in this route unless society decides to make a change. In the article "Ecojustice Education" by Paul Theobald and Hibajene Shandomo, they discuss the problems the environment is facing today and the importance of educating the society. The only way to fix the problems of the environment is through education. By educating the public about the relationship between environment and economics, the wealthy and the poor, and the community in a democracy, it will make people act. In the article, it included the works of authors or leaders from back in the day. Not only do they discuss the importance of minimizing the division of the poor and wealthy, the developments of society, etc, but they also shows the importance of being educated in these topics and subjects. Learning about problems, or as mentioned in the article for example mathematics, is immediately put into action to benefit the society. They believe that by having schools teach students about the crisis of the environment, it will start a reaction to benefit the environment and raise awareness to people in the communities. Also those students could start events and fresh markets that show the importance of being educated and taking action to help change the way we treat the environment.
