Environmental sustainability is a truly interdisciplinary subject, incorporating science, mathematics, sociology, ethics, economics, philosophy, history, government, health, reading, writing, and critical thinking. Few schools are fortunate enough to have entire courses devoted to sustainability, but most schools have teachers who are, and for those teachers, there are a plethora of resources to infuse sustainability education into their everyday lesson plans.

One of my personal favorites in terms of resources is Yes! Magazine. It's focus on positive solutions to sustainability problems, along with their commitment to supporting education (great lesson plans tied to articles AND free one-year subscriptions for teachers) make it a must read for all greens, but particularly teachers.

Classroom Earth is a comprehensive website with a user-friendly design that compiles environmental education resources. It's a great starting place when looking for lesson plans and ideas.

Facing the Future offers textbooks and workbooks all about sustainability and global issues. I've seen them, and they are great for both middle and high school. For teachers working a budget (which ones aren't?), they've also put a plethora of lesson plans online. I've used them. They work. Get thee to their website.

Finally, Michigan's Urban Options has developed a sustainability education handbook, complete with activities, that's aligned with Michigan's state standards.

This is a brief list of my favorites, but related links exist on all of these sites.
