Knowledge is power.....

..... and these free-of-charge courses stand to provide some serious knowledge.  Through transverse properties, I imagine that means these courses will provide some serious power.  And, sustainable development is important for power, both literally and figuratively.

Think about it- natural resources provide physical power for consumers.  Countries growing in a sustainable manner, maintain their power generating natural resources.  Groups who need energy (or power) sources are at the whim of those who have natural resources.  In our current culture paradigm, physical power (carbon based) wields political power.

Jeffery Sachs and friends (ie. pretty darn smart and accomplished scholars in their areas of expertise) have partnered up to offer free lectures, coursework, reading and group chats online through the Sustainable Development Solutions Network .  Click here to see the 3 classes being offered.  The topics look groovy and edifying if you are looking to beef up in any of these topics:

Side note, I am not paid for this plug.  I just like sharing information that might be useful if you come across this blog.

Cheers!
