    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

  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.
