There is a raising of concerns about the need to change environmental behaviours through economic and social activities. Education plays a significant role in this process, with schools enhancing the necessary behaviour adoption by youngsters and their community. Thus, the present study examines the relationship between different variables, such as sustainability (green public procurement, healthy food activity) and education (course, impact, interactive teaching methods/technology). We developed a survey regarding education for sustainable development (ESD), with five sections considering the referred variables. We applied it to 385 Romanian educators and teachers from kindergarten and primary school. An SEM model was formed to evaluate the relationship between the associated variables. The results showed that an organisation or school with a long-term plan incorporating green public procurement will positively stimulate initiatives that help the next generation adopt good eating habits. Moreover, this eco-sustainable approach affects the creation of interactive teaching methods and the courses and classes. Consequently, the changes in interactive methods will positively affect the overall impact. Nevertheless, the relationship between courses and impact was not significant. This means management decisions regarding green strategies can lead to a broader change in a school setting, fostering the ESD.

Water, as the source of life, is a key element of environmental education. Geography education is strongly linked to the three pillars of sustainable development (SD). Firstly, this paper used the water-related standards of China’s national geography curriculum (GCSs) as the object of textual analysis. Two coders categorized the water-related GCSs, coding them with two distinct dimensions: geography core competencies and the SD literacy framework. Then, the coding results were analyzed by word frequency analysis to compare them with U.S. high school GCSs. Finally, the distribution of core competencies and the degree of SD literacy in China’s water-related GCSs were summarized and described. Finally, this study showed that China’s sustainable water education content is rich in content, yet fragmented. China’s water-related GCSs focus on the three dimensions of ESD, with an emphasis on the environmental dimension. GCSs in both countries emphasize human–Earth relations effectively.
