A Conversation with Tom Twist

In an effort to explore more about education &amp; sustainability, I talked with Tom Twist, Sustainability Officer for The Chewonki Foundation in Maine. Tom shares his ideas and experiences with taking sustainability into the classroom… or better yet – Taking students out of the classroom to “experience” sustainability and it’s challenges.    If you get a chance, check out Chewonki’s website where you can listen to some podcast episodes that Tom developed with some students. They are amazing www.chewonki.org During the end of the discussion, we touched on energy storage and the existing flow/consumption of energy in the USA. Here’s the image I was referring to. It’s rather astounding to study this.
