Special Topics in ENR
Fall 2006 - Campus Sustainability
Course Description
The main
goal of this course is to continue the systematic exploration of what our
university is doing and can do further to become a role model for
institutional environmental, economic and social sustainability. Through
readings, field trips, and research, students will develop strategies for reducing
the environmental
impacts of our university in economically and socially sound ways. Students will learn
about sustainable practices at other university campuses, and will study and
practice the tools for successful social change in the context of the
University of Wyoming.
