Resources:
Check out my Pinterest board on activities for children of different ages with nature and in nature.
National Geographic has a nice webpage that covers the science of sustainability without activism or hype.
Eartheasy has a nice part of their webpage devoted to a whole list of environmental sites for kids. I checked out a few and all have some positives. Eartheasy is also a place that sells things, so only part of this site is educational.
Ecokids is an award winning Canadian site that might appeal to older kids and certainly to teachers.
Bioneers is a group that focuses their mission on positive solutions. You can see some great presentations and inspirational speakers discuss sustainability at their vimeo site. I particularly like Gary Hirschberg's presentation.
There are many very good TED talks about sustainability. Three of my favorites are Janine Benyus, discussing how we can use biomimicry and nature's designs to learn to solve human problems. Ted Jackson discusses prosperity without growth and Paul Stamets talks about how mushrooms and fungi can help save the world.

As a college professor I teach about human development, how people change over time. I've done research about what motivates people to learn and the importance of choices to learn about what interests you. Wisdom has also interested me and I've written about how people become wise and how wisdom can develop and be encouraged by schools.
My most recent interest is sustainable living and how you teach people about it. Sustainable living means living our lives so that everyone now and in the future can also have a good life. It's often hard to be optimistic with all the gloomy information about the world. However, optimism is important because it helps you understand how you can change the world.
