Living more simply? Understanding ecology? Taking an Eco Challenge to change some personal habits? The Northwest Earth Institute, working from Portland, Oregon for nearly 25 years, offers courses for personal online learning to group exploration and discussion.
Lacy Cagle, NWEI's Director of Learning, develops courses geared
to engage the public with sustainable thinking and action, and work
in academic circles to advance "sustainability pedagogy." Her take
on how humans have been thinking, are learning to think (and act) -
and how we COULD grow our Greener perceptions - makes for a most
thought-nourishing Earthworms conversation!
Coming up October 11-25, the 2017 EcoChallenge is an NWEI
action project. Individuals or teams of humans will dig into
habit-forming opportunities, aiming for Green changes. These
individual efforts DO add up!
