possibilities of weaving EE into the education mainstream through words and
music. Come ready to sing! NAAEE Past President Joseph Baust will moderate
the session.

Health, and Environmental Justice. Building on enthusiasm generated last
year, this forum with nationally known speaker Tom Goldtooth will explore
pathways to collaboration among environmental education, health, and
justice.
*	Industry, Sustainability, and Environment. This panel features
leaders from industry (including Calvert Asset Management Company, Intel,

environmental practices, how industry makes these major decisions, and the
importance for environmental educators.
