Best of Both Worlds 2014 -6th International Conference on Environmental Education (EE) and Sustainability

My bags are packed, ready and waiting.  My presentation slides are loaded onto my laptop and flash drive.  Tonight I set off for the Best of Both Worlds 2014 - the 6th International Conference on Environmental Education and Sustainability, where I will be presenting a paper about 101 Ways to Live Cleaner and Greener for Free and the Dustbin Diet workshops based on the book.

This year's conference is to be held in Bertioga, near Sao Paulo, Brazil.  There will be presentations from 18 countries around the world, as well as key note speakers and workshops and activities.

I'll be talking about the importance of positivity and solutions-based conversations when talking about climate change and I'll be talking about the power of social proof as a key driver to inspire and empower the next generation towards a path of sustainable consumption and zero waste.

Negative learning experiences lead to inaction and despondency...

Positive learning experiences inspire and encourage action.
