Education for Sustainability
For America to become a sustainable society, it is critical for its citizens to develop a clear understanding and appreciation of sustainability as it relates to their personal security and quality of life, as well as the future of the nation and humanity. Over the years, any CitNet members have joined with others to help build this understanding and to bring the insights and principles of sustainable development into the education system. These pages will explore these efforts.
