I believe that earth literacy will come to us eventually in a different form than simply recycling or composting more, eating a bit less meat, using a bit less plastic, and perhaps even biking to work. As long as we believe in a competitive paradigm, - you need to lose so I can win -, we are proceeding along the lines of "same old same old."
Earth literacy means opening up to a cooperative paradigm where not money is the highest value, but cooperation, compassion and the greater good of all.
