My work in education, landscape architecture, and sustainability supports sustainable community culture-education-ecology-economy. 

Culture, education, ecology, and economy are all connected and affect each other.  They are not isolated and separate issues.  We cannot improve one of them alone.  We cannot improve one without improving all of them.  We need to improve all 4 together: culture, education, ecology, and economy.   We cannot improve the economy to be a good and fair economy, an economy without a huge gap between the rich and poor, unless we also change our culture (our way of life), education, and ecology.  We can not get off fossil fuels and live a sustainable culture, a sustainable way of life, unless we also establish sustainable educations, sustainable ecologies, and sustainable community economies.  If our economy is bad (unfair and unsustainable), it's because not only our economy is bad, but also our culture, education, and ecology is bad.  If our culture is good (fair and sustainable), it's because our culture is good as well as our education, ecology, and economy.   

There are 5 ways to be nice, and one of those 5 ways is to support a nice culture-education-ecology-economy. 


Culture is a way of life; values, such as how much we value nature, air, water, soil, and wildlife; the way we live, learn, and work; and how does the ways that we live, learn, work, consume, and produce affect communities, people, and nature.  

Education is what we learn at home, at school, at jobs, on the street, from the media, etc.  What we learn at home, at school, at jobs, on the street, and from the media: does it help us to support communities and nature, or does it distract us away from communities, people, and nature? 


Ecology is how plants and animals relate to each other within a habitat.  Ecology also includes how people, plants, and animals relate to each other within a community.   

Economy is people having stuff.  An economy is how people get their things and stuff.  Stuff is shelter, water, food, energy, clothes, soap, tools, art, etc.  Materials to make stuff comes from nature.  Water and soil comes from nature too.  Nature is an important part of the economy.  We can't use money to buy water, unless there is water.  Economy includes how people take care of nature so that there is clean water and fertile soil, now and in the future.
