To assure this, private citizens, communities, corporations, and nongovernmental organizations are working with the Foundation to refocus the present generation and to educate a new generation of eco-literate individuals. The Foundation is also working to preserve precious ecosystems; provide for environmental research; develop green consciousness; and enable greater participation.

“Educating for a sustainable future is not so much about a destination as about the process of learning to make decisions that consider the long-term economy, ecology and equity of all communities. Its goal is to build an enduring society. This involves learning how to anticipate the consequences of our actions, envision a sustainable future and create steps needed to achieve the vision.â€
