Continuing work with FGCU faculty, staff, students and the wider community. In January, March, and October, 2010, Clugston was on campus meeting with various individuals about deepening the meaning of the Affiliate agreement, using the EC in climate change education, food services, green building design, and expanding its presence in the curriculum. Securing funding for activities engaging FGCU/CESE faculty and students in the development of resources, including: “The Earth Charter Book”: This book will explore the theoretical connections, applications, and transformative value of the Earth Charter to various academic and scholarly fields of endeavor in the sustainability movement. “Living the Earth Charter”: Based on a course taught by Dr. Maria Roca, this set of resources will provide exercises based on contemplative practices to examine how we can live the principles of the Earth Charter, both personally and communally. “An Earth Charter Handprint Calculator” will introduce readers to the Earth Charter and help them answer: to what extent am I/my community/ my organization living by EC principles? Footprint means the amount of resources one is consuming or amount of GHGs emitted. Handprint means positive action for sustainability (CEE India) “Guide to Eating Humanely and Sustainably with the Earth Charter” and “Guide to Conducting an Earth Charter Meal”: Drafts of these guides have been developed by CESE’s “Food Working Group” showing how the Earth Charter can be applied to the operational dimensions of university life (here food services, but the model can be applied to energy consumption, social relationships, etc.). Contributing to international and US EC+10 efforts. This 10th anniversary of the completion of the Earth Charter involved many celebrations as well as critical reflections on the value added of the Earth Charter to accelerating our much needed transition to a sustainable future. Clugston was involved in planning and/or participating in the major ECI events in Mexico, the Netherlands, and India. In India and in Mexico, he gave plenary presentations on “the Earth Charter and Higher Education” representing FGCU. Clugston is currently charting a way forward for the Earth Charter Scholarship Project in 2011, including the challenge of funding this important work. Conclusion The period of this report, from the signing of the Affiliation agreement on February 20, 2009, to December 31, 2010, has been a productive one. As we look forward to 2011, we have similarly ambitious aims. These will include active preparations for bringing the Earth Charter to the Rio
