"Teaching, applying and advocating sustainability in schools is crucial to the future of our children's lives as well as the future of our planet."
- Suzy Cameron, Co-Founder of MUSE School.
The HundrED Spotlight on Sustainability highlights the innovative practices happening in education that address this important issue. We spent nine months researching sustainability in education and identifying the people already making this a priority in their educational settings. Together in partnership with MUSE School, California, and with the help of an expert advisory board, we’ve selected ten innovations which are impactful, address sustainability in a fresh way and have either spread to other settings or have the potential to!
The chosen projects were celebrated at the Sustainability Summit in Calabasas in November 2018.

Experiences
Teaching, applying and advocating sustainability in schools is crucial to the future of our children's lives as well as the future of our planet.
While sustainability and environmental education are more important than ever, it seems to have dropped from the radar in many schools and there are multiple barriers to making sustainability, and education for and about the environment, a feature of traditional schooling. It’s a very big ask, there’s a lot of barriers, like funding… Thank goodness for innovators out there who are pushing limits, pushing barriers and looking at other ways we can achieve this.
Climate change and sustainability can be very elusive and very big topics, so how can we make it relatable to students?” What we try to do is bring out those issues. I like to talk about environmental but also cultural sustainability, how are the choices we make related to environmental sustainability? It’s all connected.
