Education for Sustainable Development Toolkit
http://www.esdtoolkit.org/
 The ESD Toolkit is an easy-to-use manual for beginning the process of combining education and sustainability. The toolkit helps schools and communities develop a process for creating locally relevant and culturally appropriate education. The toolkit is based on the idea that communities and educational systems need to dovetail their sustainability efforts. Ideally, local educational systems can reorient existing curricula to reinforce local sustainability goals. The ESD toolkit website contains the original document developed by Dr. Rosalyn McKeown which is also available in downloadable and printable formats.
