340/540: Basic Concepts of Sustainability:
Sustainability and Society
Location:
Online
Dates: No
current offerings
Credit: 1
graduate credit from
UW-Stevens Point
Citizens of a sustainable society
can be defined as a people, regardless of geographical location, who believe
in the care of nature to be as equal as the care of people to people. How do
we go about accomplishing such as society built on cooperation and peace
rather than confrontation, fear, and war? In this course, we will explore
just that, the importance, the why and how of a sustainable society. We will
learn to work with nature rather than against it; approach problems in
nature and turn them into solutions in nature; act and think globally and
locally; establish a durable, waste-free resource base; and connect with
like-minded individuals with the same ethical principles to form extended
families that cross not only political boundaries but also cultural
boundaries. Join us on this unique opportunity to act as a catalyst towards
a sustainable future for us all. Mother Earth and your great-grandchildren
will thank you!
