AnnotationThe growing involvement of older adults in applied environmental concerns is documented. The article further links this growing involvement to efforts undertaken by various educational forces, many in higher education. Education is viewed as contributing to individual empowerment. This empowerment is the rationale for engagement by older people, and changing society's perceptions of older people and their rightful role as stewards and contributors to future sustainability.
