[Dialogue] Resources for Education in Sustainable Living

[Sunny Walker]

There is a national environmental education group and we have a local one
here in Denver. Bug me in about a week and I'll have time to find and post
that information. Jim Slotta may also have it (he's out of town until next
week).

Colleagues,

 

In our local community a local citizens cadre of which I am a part is
promoting grassroots initiatives in sustainable living.  Our major strategy
is citizen education, not initially in the "what" or "how" of sustainable
living, but in "why" it matters.  Our theory is that many local people don't
do simple things like recycle, conserve water, etc. because they do not
understand the environmental, social and economic benefits to themselves and
the communty at large of doing so.  Therefore we want to evoke changes of
hearts and minds which will lead eventually to sustainable life styles.
This is what we mean by education.

 

Not all of our educational ventures will be classroom-based, but some will.
My purpose in coming to you is to ask if you would share educational
resources that you may know of--curricula, books, articles, service-learning
approaches, web links, videos, etc.--anything that you would recommend for a
venture like this.

 

If you don't wish to put what you have to offer on the listserv, please
respond to me directly at rcwmbw at yahoo.com.

 

With appreciation,

Randy
