[Dialogue] Resources for Education in Sustainable Living

[Paula Philbrook]

I know of at least 2 programs that are like to AMERICORPS

Food Corps
https://foodcorps.org/
Conservation Corps
http://www.usaconservation.org/?gclid=CJbyw9DM1rUCFYpDMgoddhoAog

They both have "education components".

*Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough,
and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to
clarity. It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger
into a friend. Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today,
and creates a vision for tomorrow*.
