We are faced with many critical problems in the 21st century–species extinction, diminishing energy resources, increasing population, and human civilizations’ limited vision of alternatives. Whether humans can learn to manage their lifestyles in a sustainable manner will impact the long-term survival of all the species on this planet. Students will explore relevant environmental issues, their possible solutions, and the interconnectedness of all lives on Earth. Issues such as energy use, sustaining resource levels, preservation of biodiversity, and community sustainability will be discussed from a scientific perspective. Seminars, laboratory experiments, community-based learning, and field trips are all integral components of the course.
