SUSTAINABLE LIVING IDEAS, LINKS, & STRATEGIES |
|
In today's society, with the amount of information available to us, there are ever increasing ways for us to embrace the idea of a sustainable planet. The motivations for doing so are not hard to find... Consider the fact that Americans use 30% of the world's oil supply yet only 2% of that comes from our own soil. By embracing renewable energy, we can significantly reduce our dependency on foreign oil. Also, renewable energy and conservation projects create 300% more jobs than the construction and operation of new traditional power plants of equal costs. Or, did you know that with every mile that we drive our gasoline powered cars, we send 1 pound of CO2 into the atmosphere? This section gets you on your way to becoming part of the solution.
Some KEY Organizations
Here are a few of the more involved organizations working hard and making differences in the health and well being of our planet's forests and ecosystems: CENTER FOR ECOLITERACY The Center for Ecoliteracy was founded in 1995 by Fritjof Capra, Peter Buckley, and Zenobia Barlow. It is a public foundation that supports a grantmaking program for educational organizations and school communities, primarily in the San Francisco Bay Area; convenes networks of its grantees; sponsors projects consistent with its mission; administers donor-advised funds; and manages a publishing imprint, Learning in the Real World ®.
