I think all foods for schools should be locally sourced and that schools should become an engine for sustainability. The edible schoolyard is an idea for a curriculum in the public schools that will bring children into a new relationship with food...children will have an opportunity to see where food comes from. They will be able to work in the garden and in the kitchen, and to serve food to their classmates in the dining room.
The University of Akron, Kent State University and Stan Hywet Hall & Gardens hosts a forum for the study and discussion of a diverse range of historical, architectural, and preservation issues.

This site is inspired by the memory of Richard Shatten, a former board member of EcoCity Cleveland,
who pushed Northeast Ohio to think strategically about regionalism and sustainability.
