Sustainable Development

I think that education on sustainable development is great, but why is it only on the curriculum for geography?
I know that it has nothing to do with some subjects like training to become a nurse, but it does with some other subjects like, for example, business. In business you could learn about how businesses can be sustainable, like ways to cut down on waste and increase recycling.
I suppose that it is a good thing that that people are learning about it, as after all we are the next generation, and we are learning about sustainability issues that arise in everyday life, that will be useful knowledge when making everyday decisions, and learning about the consequences and effects of those decisions.
But it should be on the curriculum for students in high school, as sustainable development is a big issue at the moment, with global warming and landfill sites over flowing. But why stop at just educating young people about it? Older people who are not in education can be taught about it as well. Maybe they can be sent leaflets or e-mails on sustainable development, or maybe there could more TV programs on it.
Having studied the module “Learning for sustainable development” my feelings about it are it is a very useful module to study, as the issues that arrive in it are becoming important issues within today’s society. For example, learning about various methods of transport, and the ways people get about. Currently I am doing a project on how students get to park campus, and I have found out that the majority of students get here by travelling in a private car on there own. Researching into this means officials can do more to promote more sustainable ways of travelling to the campus.
So overall I think learning about sustainable development is a good thing as it is going to help save our planet, as people become more aware of certain issues, and learn about ways they can reduce there carbon footprint.
