In this class, students will learn about permaculture and some current global and local environmental issues, such as diminishing clean water, air pollution, plastic waste, and the need for biodiversity.  We will focus on a new topic every week and topics would be learner directed through questions, comments and interests in previous classes.  
Students will learn to work collaboratively and creatively to come up with small adjustments they can make at home which will help them reduce their environmental impact and be more aware of how small choices can encourage change.

I have a Bachelors degree in Environmental Science with a specialization in Marine Biology from Boston University.  I have studied and worked as a research student in the US, Canada and on board a sailing vessel in the Atlantic Ocean researching the effects of forestry, fisheries, and ocean pollution.
I have studied Permaculture and am working towards a degree in Permaculture design and teaching.

Homework Offered
In this class, there is no written homework.  There are ideas which will be sparked through the investigation and these could encourage the students to continue to engage with these ideas, continue their own investigations and make small changes in their lives.
