Welcome to the Green Cafe

What do you believe to be the definition of sustainability?

Teaching Sustainability Our capacity to respond effectively to the great crises of the 21 st century will require a fundamentally different education, one that prepares the young to live harmoniously on a planet with a biosphere ~David W. Orr “Reinventing Education” in Greening the College Curriculum

Teaching Sustainability In the new globally connected Third Industrial Revolution era, the primary mission of education is to prepare students to think and act as part of a shared biosphere. ~Jeremy Rifkin The Third Industrial Revolution: How Lateral Power is Transforming Energy, the Economy, and the World
