Heritage Elementary School, in Pueblo Colorado, used a grant to learn how to utilize hydroponics in their classroom. The culmination of the students’ learning occured at the “Green Day”, where several presenters and community members went into the school and classrooms to talk about Sustainability.

When I think about sustainable living, I think about simplicity. It was Leonardo DaVinci who said “simplicity is the ultimate sophistication.” Living sustainably not only makes sense – it’s simply genius! It follows the laws and order of the universe. It obeys the “House Rules” plaque my great-grandmother has posted on her bathroom wall – “If you sleep on it – make it up. If you wear it – hang it up. If you drop it – pick it up. If you dirty it – clean it up.” Sustainable living is the ultimate common sense.
The simplicity of sustainability makes life easier and more economical in all areas – including when it comes to raising young children. It’s easier because you need less. It’s more economical, again, because you need less. Raising a sustainable-minded family proves that less is indeed more.
