Abstract	In Australia there has been a rapid move to an acceptance of education for sustainability as mainstream environmental education. We argue that education for sustainability, with its platform of assisting individuals in making apparently informed decisions to create a more sustainable world, is at some distance from promoting more ethically-based environmental responsibility. If environmental education is to encourage environmental responsibility, then ethically challenging curricula should provide more suitable mechanisms to encapsulate a sense of what it means to care for country, described by Leopold as "an intense consciousness of land," and foreseen decades ago with his concept of the land ethic.
