General Sustainability Announcements

Check out this sustainability-oriented de-cal offered in Spring 2008. It's called Sustainability: Environment, Economy, & Society. The course hosts renowned authors, educators, and thinkers from diverse fields of knowledge and backgrounds. Lecture is followed by a guided discussion intended to incorporate students' reflections on speakers and short weekly readings.

An optional hands-on approach is emphasized through Action Research Team (ART) project participation, in which students initiate projects or involve themselves in on-going community projects with focuses such as public transportation awareness, sustainable food systems, energy consumption and reduction, waste reduction and prevention (e.g. e-waste recycling education), environmental education, and green building/design.

The course intends to empower students to reflect upon, explore, share, and implement principles of sustainability, and to use sustainability as a tool to analyze and change the world in which we live.

It will be held in 170 Barrows, 5:30-7:30 on Wednesdays. Contact calsees@berkeley.edu or click on this link for more information and a syllabus.
