Education for Well-Being gets my vote as one of the most important educational sites on the web, period. Bill Farren makes the videos he posts there, writes lucid and relevant discussions of them, and links to supplementary resources for possible classroom use. His written posts are as well-crafted as his videos, drawing on a wide body of literature about environmental and social well-being. I’m a hack in comparison. Unsubscribe to me, if that’s what it takes to get you to subscribe to him. I really think he’s that vital to education and the future.

Bill describes his latest video, “Peak Air: Charge It,” as an “attempt to visually define “unsustainable’.” As visual definitions go (and Bill, you should have added “audio” as well, because your soundtracks always impress), it’s first-rate. See for yourself:

Go to the post itself for the written discussion and supplemental links. It’s a full (informal) lesson plan with a great visual aid, just waiting for you to push “play” to start the learning.
