NEW! Fall 2009 Special Topics Course


Living Sustainably
Course Days Time Campus Room Credits
HRT 299 Mon. 6-8:50 p.m. Grayslake H107 (H Building) 3

Want to take a course this fall that will get you learning and thinking about ways to be a little "greener" in your daily life? How about ways to eat a little healthier for you, the local economy and the planet? Join department chair, Rory Klick, for a new Horticulture class!

This course will be a reading and discussion based course using two amazing workbooks from the Northwest Earth Institute, "Choices for Sustainable Living" and "Menu for the Future," as well as current works from author Michael Pollan (Omnivore's Dilemma, Botany of Desire) and other related articles. We’ll also take a fieldtrip to a local organic farm to look more closely at where food originates, check out some great movies about "living lightly" and food, and do some taste-testing of very locally-grown produce.

For their course project, students will take part in a national campaign where they can choose a personal challenge from one of the following categories: Water Conservation, Saving Electricity, Alternative Transportation, Sustainable Eating, or Trash Reduction. For two weeks, students will monitor their consumption patterns and work to incorporate changes into their lives that make a difference to their ecological footprint. Come on – we can all do a little bit to be more sustainable! You might as well get college credit for it!
