Sustain Wisdom

Challenges Entered: 
The biggest benefit would be an online space where cross-disciplinary projects are encouraged using ‘information similarities’. The search tools would constantly be exploring how subject areas relate to each other. When scholars sign in and explore the site, they would be given ‘colleague tips’ that present visual maps of their subject in relationship to others. Every subject would be presented with sustainability relationships for their subject matter.The truth is that sustainability must become a conscious raising exercise. This can happen through the systematic promotion of sustainability in every academic environment. In time, the site would be used by grade school teachers to see the relationships that their subjects have with sustainability. As a professional, one would go into the system and look for a set of experts that may be at a local university, or contact a set of researcher to provide information on a subject.
