Education & Sustainability
Speakers cover environmental education, environmental
literacy, and the overall greening of schools, colleges and
universities. Greening schools involves a comprehensive incorporation
of sustainability issues in all relevant course offerings, curricula,
textbooks, related educational materials, campus-wide programs,
and K-12 assembly programs. Greening education also involves
changes in existing school and campus buildings and operations,
green building for new facilities, green vehicles for fleet
additions, green purchasing, and other related reforms to operating
practices. In addition, speakers cover environmental education
occurring outside formal educational settings, including programs
for the general public, social marketing, and green or eco-parenting.
Greening Schools & Universities. Large educational
institutions are often like small cities. They build, maintain,
and operate buildings, infrastructure, utilities, and landscaping,
dispose of wastes and recycle, buy a huge variety of things,
procure, maintain, and operate vehicle fleets, and much more.
Greening these functions is a major opportunity. See Mark
Van Putten, Jerry
Yudelson, Hillary
Brown, Dan Chiras,
and Eric Corey Freed.
K-12 School Programs. These are generally programs given
in school wide assemblies to compliment environmental education
themes or events. See Daniel
Dancer, Reese Halter,
Rusty Johnson,
Marty Essen, Michael
Klubock, Debbie
S. Miller, and Tim
Herd.
Social Marketing. Selling behavior change for the public
good isn't best approached like selling soap. Marketing experts
have developed unique methods that are often much more effective
than conventional techniques. See Doug
McKenzie-Mohr, Nancy
Lee, Annette Frahm,
Diane MacEachern,
and Walter McGuire.
