Center for Ecoliteracy - 1 views

  •  
    LOVE this idea and website! By implementing a 'Smart by Nature' education, the Center for Ecoliteracy aims to transform schools with their green schooling movement. Working with schools on school lunches, school gardens, and integrating ecological principles into the school curriculum. The website offers access to blogs, news, and information on the services, workshops, and seminars. It can be seen as controversial because there are groups fighting for this movement that hold rallies and sit-ins to get their voices heard and points across at the government level.
