 * In schools, we need to: (Wisdom from this ** [|Source ed4wb.org])
 * 1) Make learning enjoyable. Create opportunities for students to follow their interests and express their creativity.
 * 2) Make learning relevant (see number one above).
 * 3) Put economics into perspective. The purpose of an education should not be to support economies–economies should support people.
 * 4) Promote the understanding that nature provides the ultimate source of wealth and well-being.
 * 5) Re-examine competition amongst individuals, groups and nations.
 * 6) Use nature as teacher; not ignore 3.8 billion years of research and design.
 * 7) Understand the limits of knowledge, technology, and growth within a finite biosphere.
 * 8) Measure what’s important and understand that what is important is not always measurable.
 * 9) Teach integratively. Reality does not neatly fit into disciplines.
 * 10) Understand the unwritten curriculum; some of our most powerful lessons are unintentional.
