Whether at the community level or in our own back yards, composting and organic gardening are simple ways to remind us of our role in the life cycle and our place in the natural environment.

We also offer ideas and advice on place-based learning; exploring how we interact with the land we live on, past and present, to nurture an awareness of our interdependence with nature.

Hands to Earth Philosophy:

The Hands to Earth philosophy views the environment as a relationship rather than as a place: the relationship between living things and their surroundings. With this in mind, we can educate for a sustainable future by cultivating that relationship between people and their surroundings.
