The basic issue is Libraries' role in environmental sustainability. We have seen:
1. Libraries have programs to foster, teach and promote environmental sustainability. These are geared to many different types of users.
2. New library buildings are required to be built to LEED standards. Grants are requiring many specific standards.
3. Librarians can attend conference to learn what can be done to encourage library users and use environmental sustainability in the library. Library organizations are a part of this.
4. Librarians and library users communicate in blogs, discussing the importance of environmental sustainability and what that entails.
To refer back to the quote that began this blog, libraries always have been, are now and will continue to be "One of the seven sustainable wonders of the World." Thank you Dr. Donelle H. Meadows.
