Importance Education correlates strongly with future economic and social well-being for everyone. The higher the education level of the state's population, the more robust the state's economy and the greater the economic opportunities for residents. Education is also a critical way that we transmit our values, culture, and shared experience. A high school diploma is a passport to the benefits of American society. Without a degree, young people face a difficult battle in the labor market today and lack opportunities for advancement tomorrow.
Education makes people employable and competitive.
It also makes them rich in knowledge and experience. For economic development to take place, we need capable, educated workers. Environmental Environmental education helps us to make scientifically informed decisions, rather than choices based solely on emotion. Such learning is the foundation of future decisions that will conserve our resources and allow us to live well. Tomorrow's graduates will soon face the task of reducing the burden that we put on nature today.
