You need look no further than the United Nations as the source of fanatic environmental views using labels like "sustainable development" and "global warming/climate change" in treaties and action plans that trickle down into every classroom and into every level of government — national, state and local.
The proposed UN treaty to give rights to "Mother Earth" as well as other environmental treaties are fatally flawed because they equate God with nature, and aim to supplant God's directive to man to care for the earth with government dominion.
Earth-centered "sustainable development" was first introduced at the UN's 1987 "World Commission on Environment and Development," and carried forth in its 1992 "Earth Summit" that produced an action plan called "Agenda 21." "Sustainable development" is bad policy because it supplants liberty with a framework of rules and regulations that grant government dominion over the behavior of individuals, businesses and organizations.
In 1993, former President Bill Clinton's Executive Order created the President's Council on Sustainable Development that has rammed Agenda 21's radical environmental agenda into every classroom and every level of American government. Even though the PCSD sunset in 1999, government grants have kept it alive.
The following lyrics of "Earthlings Unite" are not educational, but an example of classroom abuse:

The UN's environmental drumbeat continues this week in New York City at the Commission on Sustainable Development's final "PrepCom" before the 2012 Earth Summit, also called Rio+20, because it comes 20 years after the 1992 Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
A Transitional Committee under the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change, one of three treaties produced by the 1992 Earth Summit along with Agenda 21, is designing a global taxing scheme for which the UN will seek approval later this year. The new Green Climate Fund would serve as a global Robin Hood to redistribute wealth from rich to poor nations under the guise of implementing "sustainable development."
To protect our children, we must educate ourselves about the UN's insidious agenda to subvert our children's faith in God by elevating its earth-centered zealotry that would grant the UN dominion over the earth.
