More homeschooling and Internet-based education can help solve energy problems

--Think about it - we drive our kids back and forth to school.

--If we don't drive them, the busdrivers do.

--Teachers and other staff must also drive back and forth to school.

--Furthermore, are the kids really receiving a high-quality education once they get there? Doubtful.

--The present system is ANTIQUATED and is a HUGE WASTE OF ENERGY and is BAD FOR THE ENVIRONMENT.

(This is a meme that could help tie together our movement with other movements - the greens, the environmentalists, the religious right, etc)

--What if kids homeschooled 3-4 days a week, and traveled to the physical school just 1-2 days a week for in-class science/lab study?

And I'm not sure what is currently available in terms of K-12 homeschooling/Internet-based education, but check out this initiative by MIT for what is taught at the college level.

All free of charge - granted, you don't get a degree for studying this material. But for those that can't afford college or won't be able to get a loan (thanks to tight credit conditions) - this could be a blessing and could prepare them for the point in time when they ARE ready for the official degree.

WE are working to solve the climate crisis by offering free  EDUCATION that addresses not only the Planet, but our place as holistic people in it, so we can learn to be better Stewards. 

As beings with a Mind, Spirit, Physical, and a few other dimensional bodies through which we experience our world; we must take a holistic approach to our Self, change parts of Our Self perspective about our responsibility to planet and all the life on it.
