The U.S. Green Building Council announced a huge project on their wish list. They intend to launch “a National Action Plan for Educating for Sustainability” which will hopefully take place in 35 states by 2025. Their mission is to educate for a sustainable future through the integration of environment, economy, and equity, and the ability to apply this to systems for problem-solving and decision-making. This sounds a bit like our class, and soon this will be mandatory nation wide. I think this should be a mandatory class now and not ten to 35 years from now, but at least they’re implementing a class necessary for our century. Here’s the link from the GreenBiz.com
