Sustainability and Cultural Transformation: Erik Assadourian
You don’t need us to tell you that life is changing. How the public education system is rising to those challenges - at least the conversation most of us hear- usually involves more general statements about sustainability and meeting 21st Century needs. Erik Assadourian sees more immediate and specific shifts that have the power to move the education system from a conduit to individual success to one of cultural change. Erik Assadourian is a Senior Fellow at the Washington D C based Worldwatch Institute. He’s in Hawaii this week and with us this morning.

Shawn is the author of The Hawai‘i Coffee Book: A Gourmet's Guide from Kona to Kaua‘i, and as we look ahead to this year’s Hawaii Coffee Fest, he’s joining us in our studio.

So many careers flame out as quickly as they began, but theirs has continued, even as their audience grows up, and grows old. We talked with the guitar-playing and songwriting half of the duo, Graham Russell, about the phenomenon.
