You might ask why I've posted this here.  It's about sustainability.  Sustainability involves maximizing our natural resources to support the long-term well being of the world.  Every human being is a natural resource.  Every child has the potential to make a meaningful contribution to the sustainability of our world. 

Watch this video for some ideas on how you can encourage children to make that contribution.

You can learn more about Temple Grandin here and here.
