There are only a few ways to prepare and adapt to a future of uncertainty and no matter which you choose, students must learn how to think creatively and problem solve. They must also be able to not only memorize information from a teacher but to learn how to research and understand any topic or field of study on their own.

Synergism/How Changing Our Environment can Influence What we Eat, How we Move and How Safely we Maintain our Neighborhoods
No man, woman or child is an island when it comes to improving nutrition and exercise habits. Scientists have now discovered that our health is influenced not just by our physical environment and friends and relatives but also by your friends and relatives contacts as well. That's right.

Learn how to rally your community to change a haphazard physical environment filled with culinary temptations and crime to one that will easily nudge your citizens into ahealthy, fit, well nourished and safe society.
