It seems to me there is very little formal education available for those wanting to go into sustainability and “green” endeavors. Do you know of any? Do you think a degree in this field would help? What degree do you wish you could find?

New College of California North Bay Campus for Sustainable Living seeks to provide students with knowledge and skills that will enable them to be effective agents of social change.

http://newcollege.edu/northbay/index.cfm

“Our world is in a survival crisis. Our economy is based on the unsustainable consumption of resources (especially fossil fuels), destabilizing the global climate. Moreover, our inequitable social systems are undermining ecosystems, human physical and psychological health, and traditional cultures. In response, we are creating a regenerative society based on respect for natural cycles and the dignity and intrinsic value of all persons, cultures, and ecosystems.”
