The Basics of Sustainability is a half-day program that introduces high school students to the concept of sustainability, and the connections between society, economy, and ecology.
The program helps students to develop critical thinking and problem-solving skills through a series of hands-on activities and discussions. The students address an overview of sustainability definitions, make connections between global issues, and assess the sustainability of various day to day activities.
The program also features a tour of the unique sustainable systems and technologies in place at the Macoskey Center.
