“Instead of telling people what they shouldn’t be doing, we try to provide them with ways that they can actually find solutions to do things in a more sustainable way.”
That’s the message that CEO Daniel Schaffer emphasised as part of the core philosophy of the Foundation for Environmental Education (FEE) when he was interviewed by Spirit Rosenberg of Great.com as part of their Great Talks With… series.
Daniel elaborated that part of the “golden thread” that runs through all of FEE’s work is a positive and solution-based mentality. “Telling people what they can’t do is not the way forward, so FEE shows people what they can do and gives them concrete ways to make real change happen.”
Daniel appeared on the series to introduce FEE to a new audience and explain why the work FEE does around the world is so critical. He describes how FEE educates multiple stakeholders about environmental issues and inspires them to take positive action for sustainability. Daniel and Spirit had a lively discussion about the current state of environmental activism and how FEE fills a unique and important role in the sustainability movement.
