American Forest Foundation

The American Forest Foundation (AFF) works on-the-ground with families, partners and elected officials to promote forest stewardship and protect our nation’s forest heritage. A commitment to the next generation unites our nationwide network of forest owners working to keep our forests healthy and producing the clean water, wildlife habitat and sustainable wood supplies that all Americans count on from forests.

350.org

350.org is building a global climate movement.  The number 350 means climate safety: to preserve a livable planet, scientists tell us we must reduce the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere from its current level of 400 parts per million to below 350 ppm.

350.org believes that a global grassroots movement can hold our leaders accountable to the realities of science and the principles of justice. The 350 movement is rising from the bottom up all over the world, and is uniting to create the solutions that will ensure a better future for all.

NEW YORK LEAGUE OF CONSERVATION VOTERS EDUCATION FUND

New York League of Conservation Voters Education Fund (NYLCVEF) mission is to educate, engage and empower New Yorkers to be effective advocates on behalf of their environment — from clean energy and funding for parks, to solid waste and green buildings.

NYLCVEF educates New Yorkers about environmental issues and the environmental decision-making processes at the local, regional, state and federal government levels.

They engage in all sectors – elected officials, policymakers, businesses, community groups and grassroots citizens – in open, non-partisan discussion about sustainability policies in order to achieve the environmental breakthroughs that New York needs.

They empower New Yorkers to make environmental change by engaging them in the civic process,  including voter registration, helping residents make their voices heard on environmental issues, and connecting New Yorkers with candidates, elected officials and policy makers.

INTRODUCTION TO SUSTAINABILITY - COURSERA

This course introduces the academic approach of Sustainability and explores how today’s human societies can endure in the face of global change, ecosystem degradation and resource limitations. The course focuses on key knowledge areas of sustainability theory and practice, including population, ecosystems, global change, energy, agriculture, water, environmental economics and policy, ethics, and cultural history.

This subject is of vital importance, seeking as it does to uncover the principles of the long-term welfare of all the peoples of the planet. As sustainability is a cross-disciplinary field of study, this foundation requires intellectual breadth: as I describe it in the class text, understanding our motivations requires the humanities, measuring the challenges of sustainability requires knowledge of the sciences (both natural and social), and building solutions requires technical insight into systems (such as provided by engineering, planning, and management).
