12. Social-Economic-Environmental. Culture. Culture is a way of life, and how we live, learn, and work relates to nature. Support a community culture, in which there is a community education, in which students learn to live, learn, and work in ways that help people and nature to live and thrive together. See
Culture-Education-Ecology-Economy (CEEE).
13. Environment. Help to diminish the increasing rate of climate change. Help to recover from the effects of climate change, in your community and beyond.
14. Environment. Energy and Climate Change. Help to reduce your community's reliance, investment, and use of fossil fuels. For examples, drive less frequently and or drive shorter distances. Make energy-efficiency housing improvements. Help to reduce how much pollution and carbon dioxide your community puts into the atmosphere. Help yourself and your community to live, learn, and work in ways that use less energy and waste less energy, as well as to increasingly replace using fossil fuels with using renewable energy (solar and wind, etc.).

17. Social. Education. Experiential Education: Learn by Doing. Support community education that combines both knowledge and experience. Do not separate knowledge and experience from each other. Not only learn about local native wildflowers, but also help them to grow. Not only learn about organic community farming, but also do some work at the farm, grow organic food, eat organic food, and distribute organic food throughout the community. Not only learn about how to overcome poverty in the community, but also take action to help overcome poverty, set up small local businesses that help both people and nature, get people employed and earning living wages, etc.
18. Economic-Environmental, or Ecology-Economy. Get the economy to harmonize with nature, instead of to go against nature. Get our economic goals and education goals to be the same as ecologic goals. We need clean air to breath, to stay alive, to run an economy. Without clean air, clean water, fertile soil, etc., and a vibrant environment, there won't be an economy or an education. The economy runs on nature. If we harm nature, we harm people and the economy. Let us all (kids and adults) be educated to run economies that help both people and nature.
Answers: Solve all 18 (and more) social-economic-environmental problems, together, in unison, simultaneously. There really is only 3 life problems: 1. how to live well, 2. how to sustain and enrich communities, people, and nature, and 3. how to diminish each of the many corruptions. Learning community education, at the ABC Holistic Education Garden helps students to simultaneously solve all
3 problems together:
1. how to live well,
2. how to sustain and enrich communities, people, and nature, and 3. how to diminish each of the many corruptions. Meanwhile, of the above 18 problems, many of them are corruptions in society, the economy, or nature. The many corruptions are bad side-effects of 1 corruption: a bad culture-education-ecology-economy: there's an unsustainable culture, which includes unsustainable goals in both the economy and education, which results in modern schooling teaching not nearly enough about how to manage a community in ways that boost the economy and environment together, as well as reduce poverty and reduce environmental problems. Pop modern schooling mainly teaches academics and leaves graduates clueless as to how to run sustainable communities and overcome poverty. We remedy this by establishing a community education, such as at the ABC Holistic Education Garden of sustainable economic and education goals. At the ABC Garden, students learn the ABCs of not only academics, but also of community, ecology, economy, science, art, and technology. Moreover, community education combines both knowledge and experience. Students not only learn about the basics of a community and an economy, but also they practice running a very basic, small, simple community and economy. Additionally, the community education teaches the ABCs of community, to help a person run a more complex society later. A person cannot do algebra unless the person can count from 1 to 20; likewise, a person cannot help to harmoniously run a huge complex economy and society unless the person can harmoniously run a small, simple, basic community economy. Learning community education help students to learn how to reduce poverty and many other corruptions, in their community and beyond. Furthermore, learning community education helps students to simultaneously solve all
3 problems together:
1. how to live well,
2. how to sustain and enrich communities, people, and nature, and 3. how to diminish each of the many corruptions. See ABC Holistic Education Garden.
