Dear Randy, <br><br>I thought you would never ask! Just kidding and I do have a contact that we here at Songhaia have used several times. <br><br><a href="http://www.nwei.org/">http://www.nwei.org/</a> This is the Northwest Earth Institute and they are wonderful. Earlier Fred had introduced us to the Institute and we had a group study of Deep Ecology and Discovering a Sense of Place. We are now doing A Choice of Sustainability. The articles are great and format is helpful. <br>
<br>Be well, <br><br>Nancy <br><br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Tue, Feb 26, 2013 at 8:06 AM, R Williams <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:rcwmbw@yahoo.com" target="_blank">rcwmbw@yahoo.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

<div><span>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.</span></div>

<span>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.</span></div>
