Environmental Stories

Stories below can be used for free for environmental education, but any reproduction, copying or further processing must be negotiated.

As this is a continuous project, stories keep appearing and site growing in an Agile manner as described here.

Below a grid to access “the 1st 21 stories” by continents. Alternatively they are also available through the “Environmental Stories” top menu. It is listed as one of many categories of the pull-down menu as “1st 21 stories”.

Stories are ranked by “Categories” and “Tags” and depending of story lay-out, similar stories can be accessed through clicking interesting category/tag at the end / sidebar of each post.

More on navigation below, but best is just to explore the site – there are many alternative ways to navigate.

1st 21 stories

These 21 stories are the first written for this site of environmental education. There are 3 stories per each of the seven continents.

I have travelled excessively – visiting 80 countries – especially in my youth. Despite that I never was in the Antarctica, so those tales I have written as Hergé wrote the Tintin comics – without visiting the locations.
