What is the Challenge?

Imagine a world beyond one of “take-make-waste” to one that thrives within our natural systems, supports global economies and populations and protects the environment. Many world leaders now recognize that a healthy civil society and vibrant economy depend upon a sustainable planet. This new way of thinking challenges educators, administrators and the entire community to enrich education from an early age with sustainability knowledge, beliefs and “habits of the heart”.

Imagine a future where our children - the leaders of tomorrow - have been raised and educated in a culture that values the idea that the health of our natural systems goes hand-in-hand with the health of worldwide populations and their global economies. Imagine a whole new world.
