Cookie-cutter suburbs could help spread sustainable yards, but only if new approaches explicitly help property values, says Matthew Freedman, economist, in the Scientific American: "We don't see a lot of HOAs encouraging activities that will have benefits that extend beyond their community," he says.

We are not your standard school. Like Peter, our beloved Anteater mascot, we're quirky and different. We're on a mission to create positive change in society, economies and human well-being by breaking down traditional barriers and pushing the limits in teaching, research and service. Doing so requires a different attitude, aim and set of actions.
