Sustainable Living NS-0107

In this course our conversation will take the form of critical inquiry into current popular notions of sustainable fuel, fiber, food and shelter. Can biomass fuel replace fossil fuel and with what consequences? Will local farms supplant mega-foodmarts? Can we find ways to locally integrate our life support systems, balancing human needs and the services provided by the ecosystems we occupy? Through lectures, readings, class discussions, debates and projects we will critically examine innovative "green" technologies, using our own locale as a classroom, and gaining observational and analytical skills in the process.
