Sustainability in EDU Over last 20 years

The SustainZine has been blogging (although rather sporadically) for 11 years. Wow!. One of the first blogs was related to an article (and a SAM presentation) by Hall, Tayler, Zapalski and Hall (2009). It focused on sustainability in Higher ED, specifically on how the facilities of universities were doing sustainability initiatives but there were few actual classes on Sustainability. The classroom, i.e., the future of sustainability was far behind.

Later in 2010 Hall (2010) published an article on Lessons of recessions: Sustainability education and jobs may be the answer. (SustainZine Blog post here.) This article discusses the Great Recession of 2007-2008. Make no doubt about the pandemic of 2020, it too was a recession so destructive innovation has been (and will continue to be) the result.

Good Jobs, Green Jobs National Conference

Good Jobs, Green Jobs National Conference:

Well, shouldn't they all be GREEN jobs?

Looking for a few good jobs.

Looking for a few green jobs.

Looking for a few Good GREEN Jobs.:-)

Before the recession, green jobs were outpacing others, both in terms of pay and number. It will be interesting to see what the conference stats have to say about this.

Of course, there are about 50 shades of green!... Seems like a book, doesn't it.:0)
