Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) is an initiative of UNESCO. It recognizes that students do not seem to be engaged in their education because it has no relevance for them. Most of what they learn is geared to the past, not to their future. ESD provides students with a key concept, that in order for them to survive this planet they cannot exploit resources faster than they can be replaced. It focuses on systems thinking and includes every aspect of curriculum.

6/21 Today is the day
Yesterday was exciting. Storms in Chigago meant route changes and I missed the dinner I had arranged with the 15 other teachers who are going to Kanazawa. Still managed to get a decent dinner at the restaurant near the hotel. Up at 5:00 this morning. Off for espresso and then breakfast with the other teachers. Leave the hotel at 9;00 for the airport. Kobe here we come!
