Karen Brown - Revolutionizing K-12 Education with Sustainability in Mind | Bioneers

"Smart by Nature" education has the potential to impart to our young the keys to sustainable living, revitalize our nation's approach to schooling, and point the way to a hopeful future. This bold vision developed by the Center for Ecoliteracy is preparing today's young people for the ecological challenges of the coming decades. Karen Brown, CEL Creative Director and an award-winning designer, explores how this vision is becoming reality in K-12 schools nationally.

This speech was given at the 2011 Bioneers National Conference.
