Many people feel powerless in the face of the climate crisis, but the choices that we make as individuals have social, political and economic consequences that affect our living environment. By addressing some of the United Nation’s Sustainable Development Goals, students in this course will investigate ways that people can start living their lives in a sustainable way. The course will be divided into four units: 1) Supporting Local Business, 2) the Satoyama Concept / Organic Farming, 3) Waste Prevention, and 4) Corporate Responsibility. Students will be expected to research a short profile (one A4 page) of a business or community organisation for each unit to share with the class. These may be done as individuals or in pairs.
