DESCRIPTION: Sustainable Living introduces students to diverse global
perspectives and practical personal solutions related to environmental,
economic and social sustainability. The course presents a historical,
ethical 
and technical review of the impact that our daily decisions make on the
global 
condition. Students will learn from faculty, local practitioners of
sustainable living, and each other about energy, food, land use, water and
air, waste, housing, personal health, and community.

Sustainable Living, will introduce students to these global challenges,
while 
helping them learn about practical and research-based solutions that may be
implemented in their daily lives. This class is dedicated to helping
students 
make personal and professional decisions that support the three
interconnected 
objectives of sustainability; economic viability, environmental integrity,
and 
social equity.
