Ecologically addressing education is about sustainable, forward-thinking education to help people become conscientious global stewards. It is about teaching how to learn more than what to learn, solutioneering and thinking outside the box, and understanding how our individual decisions impact the larger whole. It is about living and creating for The Highest Good of all people and life on this planet and considering what is most important to learn and teach each other in support of this.

And the core team worked on fixing outlet and switch details in the Murphy bed 3D SketchUp file. These corrections were needed for the assembly instructions and required researching if multiple circuits require their own electrical boxes. Two switches were then added on the outside entry door light on the left side inside, and another switch was added outside to the left of the entry door.
