Education in the classroom is of great importance for learning about sustainable development due to the fact that in the classroom is where you learn most of the stuff that you know latter in life. It is not just in the classroom that sustainable development should be taught and openly discussed however, it should be a topic of conversation between adults, teenagers and children alike. The subject of sustainability should be common place and just influence every decision that people make from what people buy from the shops to how a teenager gets to school or what you do with the left over waste whether it be domestic or food waste.
Geography can be used to highlight sustainable development and sustainability on the whole however i believe that i should be separate in the curriculum to geography especially as it is a pivotal part of today's society and possibly to be taught as a new subject or as a module in citizenship. This will increase the average persons knowledge of what is happening to the word and what will happen if we continue to use natural resources the way we are at the moment.
This module has taught me a great deal about sustainability and it has changed my personal view on what is "right" and "wrong". This assessment also has showed me how to express these thought on paper which in turn got me to think about the module and subject area in alot more detail and has helped my understanding of the topic area.

These are useful comments. Is it a generational 'thing'? Would you think that consideration of SD issues stretches to all ages?
