Summer Assignment: Sustainability

One of the goals of environmental science is to "learn how we can live more sustainably without degrading our life-support system." (Miller, LITE). Reflect on what sustainability means and read some newspaper or magazine articles that discuss successes (things we are doing to live sustainably) and our problems (environmental issues that you feel are affecting sustainble living).

In your posting define sustainability, discuss the major issues you feel are most problematic and include positive steps you feel are being taken. Give specific examples of problems/solution (don't just say "pollution) and cite the articles in a hyperlink so that others can read them as well. You may address local, national or worldwide issues.

You may wish to start this assignment by reading Chapter 1 of Miller LITE for an overview of environmental science.

Read what others post and make comments on their ideas. This is your forum for discussion!
