What can the public do NOW to have a sustainable future? Check out UN Sustainable Development Goals

For those wondering what we can do individually and collectively, despite any action or lack thereof of governments, to help both the country and the world have a sustainable future, the United Nations developed a set of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). There is a global movement for this to be taught, or at least to have exposure, in classrooms...if our youngest students are exposed to these ideas and actions, and it is part of their 'normal' experience and routine, then we have a chance for lots of people doing lots of things, and that adds up to create some level of change and success.

As far as how we can change how we do high school, and better prepare students for a fast-changing world, check out one model I have in mind. Keep in mind that things like creativity and innovation skills, along with content in various subject areas, including competency with a variety of technologies, are some of the most important things we should be developing in the next generation.

Check out the SDGs here! Are you doing anything for any of the goals? Are you interested in trying to do something for any of the goals?
