I think linking into that network could be a great resource for the types of things you're asking for.</div><div><br></div><div>Jack<br><div><div>On Feb 26, 2013, at 10:06 AM, R Williams <<a href="mailto:rcwmbw@yahoo.com">rcwmbw@yahoo.com</a>> wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><blockquote type="cite"><div><div style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); font-family: tahoma, 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 12pt; "><div><span>Colleagues,</span></div><div><span></span> </div><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><div style="font-family: tahoma, 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; background-color: transparent; "><span></span> </div><div style="font-family: tahoma, 'new york', times, serif; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; background-color: transparent; "><span>Not all of our educational ventures will be classroom-based, but some will.
