GreenPolicy360's Founder was fortunate to have had, over many years, travels and experiences, memorable and inspiring teachers who presented art, and great books, ideas and economic challenges, history, politics and future possibilities. The mix was, I discovered, an education that imbues lifelong learning.

Here at GreenPolicy360 we carry lifelong learning lessons forward. We hope our visitors, young and old from around our world, in every community from villages to big city high rises, find value here everyday in myriad ways.

We even see Green education as sort of like the movie "Being There" , where the writer Jerzy Kosinski introduces a gardener, Chance (Chauncey) who brings his understanding of the life of plants, soil and water, seasons and nature, life and a living earth into business and politics. Surprises beyond satire bloom.

Green education is profligate, spreading like an interactive network. We are nodes of learning shared like an online university that our Founder helped start, a Virtual University that is now the WGU.edu and networking in every community connected to the Internet.

Take a look.

And take a look at how STEM education has become a STEAM creative, artistic movement with addition of art and ideas -- with goals of greening economies across the Earth

From architecture to automotives and fashion design to product design, student creators and innovators are designing a better and more sustainable future. Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics (STEAM) disciplines underpin essentially all industries, and they drive the intellectual property (IP)-intensive industries that account for over 41% of U.S. gross domestic product and employ one- third of America’s total workforce.

All too often, creative contributions to industries like manufacturing, architecture, transportation, and agriculture are severely overlooked. Yet, without artists, designers, and other creative minds, the world wouldn’t have the sleek look of American muscle cars, iconic structures like the Empire State Building, or innovative products like smart watches.

Many universities and colleges offer a variety of programs for these creators to hone their skills and learn more about related industries. For example, Detroit’s College for Creative Studies (CCS) offers courses and degrees in advertising design, animation, art education, art practice, communication design, color and materials design, crafts and material studies, entertainment arts, graphic design, interaction design, motion design, concept design, design for sustainability, entertainment arts, fashion and fashion accessories design, film, game design illustration, interdisciplinary art + design, interior design, photography, product design, textiles, fine art, glass, metalsmithing and jewelry, painting, printmaking, sculpture, transportation design, user experience design, and visual development.

Who knew there is such a wide variety of employment options across a range of different industries? Creators aren’t limited to—the equally important—traditional roles associated with music, film, television, painting, sculpting, writing, or theater. (GreenPolicy360 knew)

There are so many possibilities for creators to reinvent industries toward a more sustainable future. The latest and greatest high-tech projects and products certainly provide consumers, creators, and innovators with state-of-the-art options. From high-efficiency doors and windows to electric agricultural vehicles and cleaner manufacturing systems, advanced innovations offer a wide range of solutions for an environmentally friendly future.
