• Global Garlic Mustard Field Survey
  Welcome to the Global Garlic Mustard Field Survey! a collaboration between scientists, educators and you Many invasive species, like Garlic Mustard (Alliaria petiolata), are threatening the world's natural resources, but the abundance of invasive species can vary dramatically over space and time. Scientists still do not have a good understanding of why this is so. Through large-scale sampling, scientists can identify areas that differ in the intensity of invasion and try to understand why these differences exist. We can also compare this to variation in the native range. This may be crucial to researching new methods of control, but a large project like this could cost millions of dollars and years of work. Through the use of a simple, standardized protoco

• Greenville [A sustainability game]
  Think running an eco-friendly community is easy?  GREENVILLE lets players take a fictional community a test drive, managing resources, shelter, and population over time. The primary goal of the game is to keep Greenville's population healthy and happy for one fictional year.   As the population grows, so does the demand for shelter and resources.  Players must collect resources such as Food, Water, and Energy from the area around Greenville.  These resources are used to build and upgrade structures in Greenville such as a Town Hall, Housing Co-Op, or Water Filtration Plant.  Resources can also be traded at the Market and spent on helpful Advisory Groups such as a Volunteer workforce, Arts Council, or Farmers Union.

• Center for Ecoliteracy - Education for Sustainability
  The Center for Ecoliteracy supports and advances education for sustainable living. We believe that schools play a pivotal role in moving us beyond our growing environmental crises and toward a sustainable society. We recognize schooling for sustainability as a process that fosters abundant living on a finite planet and makes teaching and learning come alive. We bring a passion to our work that stems from our conviction that the best hope for learning to live sustainably lies in schooling that returns to the real basics: engaging with the natural world; understanding how nature sustains life; nurturing healthy communities; exploring the consequences of how we feed and provision ourselves; caring about the places where we live and the people and creatures in
