The Launch of Two New Journals: The Solutions Journal and The Journal of Sustainability Education

A couple of new journals about sustainability topics are adding new ideas and resources to the global dialog on green topics: The Solutions Journal, founded by Robert Costanza, Paul Hawken, David Orr and John Todd, and Prescott College's, Journal of Sustainability Education (JSE).

The Solutions Journal aims "to showcase bold and innovative ideas for solving the world's environmental, social and political problems." To this end, I am thrilled to see them launch their premier issue by publishing Donella Meadow's article "Leverage Points: Places to Intervene in a System."-- This is a classic piece that does a great job of presenting the importance of a systems approach to solving the challenges we face. The journal also includes articles by Robert Costanza, Bill McKibben, Frances Moore Lappé and others... All geared to solutions... to thinking beyond the basic approach... a glass half-full approach much needed in these times. Their website invites ideas and solutions from their readers.

The Journal of Sustainability Education (JSE) provides "a forum for academics and practitioners to share, critique, and promote research, practices, and initiatives that foster the integration of economic, ecological, and social-cultural dimensions of sustainability within formal and non-formal educational contexts." The peer reviewed JSE is in its launch phase and should be a great resource for advancing the ideas related to sustainability education.
