Abstract

The recent development of the cities has grown rapidly, followed by digital technological advances. Buildings, roads, housing, business centers, industries, and other public facilities are built to meet human needs and to foster the development of the city's economy. All of them are equipped with advanced technological facilities. In the name of modernity, a city is being established, yet it must all sacrifice the environment. Even the decision makers, as well as the developers, do not aware that they destroy nature. The progress should be followed by ecological literate policies. This study focuses on how to educate people to realize that the ecological environment needs to be taken care of so that the next generation can keep the harmony of life between people and their environment. The ecological literature has been generated by many environmental poets. Using ecocriticism approach supported with David W. Orr’s concept on ecological literacy, the issue of ecological neglect depicted in the poems will be discussed. The study finds that harmonious life will be reached if the society has an ethical ecological literacy.
