Scientific literacy is knowing enough science to make informed choices that affect all our lives, the lives of all of us in the global community.
To be scientifically literate means to have an understanding that more organisms than people exist on Earth, that math and language and history are integrated with science, that art and other humanities are ways of conveying scientific information, and, it means to know facts and be able to utilize them to make choices.
Art, for example, conveys ideas on science. Notice the health or disease of trees in paintings, for example. The artist's observation skills are part of scientific literacy.
How can you be more, "scientifically literate?"
