Earth Charter
The Earth Charter is a declaration of fundamental principles for building a just, sustainable, and peaceful global society in the 21st century. It seeks to inspire in all peoples a new sense of global interdependence and shared responsibility for the well-being of the human family and the larger living world. It is an expression of hope and a call to help create a global partnership at a critical juncture in history.

Vermont Education for Sustainability Guide
The Vermont Education to Sustainability Guide was developed to introduce Education for Sustainability (EFS) to educators and administrators and to provide additional information to enhance the work of those already engaged in EFS. The goals of the Vermont EFS Guide are to: Introduce educators to the importance and promise of EFS, provide curricular examples of EFS, provide examples of community sustainability initiatives and their educational components, provide a listing of EFS resources and bibliography, and help promote and support a network of educators engaged in EFS.
