MISSION STATEMENT: We are committed that Seattle students will develop their own understanding of food and energy through direct experience with the community. DINNER: In Seattle on January 12th 2008, local communities of educators, builders, chefs, legislators and students will gather to discuss the future of environmental education in Seattle highschools. Our goal is to discuss what is already in place and what people are doing that works and apply that to the future of education. This will be a chance to demonstrate to Seattle schools and students our commitment to build youth understanding of how our environment works and what their role can be. Direct contributions of time, materials and curriculum will be made to Seattle’s highschools by local people, organizations and companies.
