Creating a Sustainable Future
Creating a Sustainable Future is for students who want intellectual and practical strategies to help lead the way toward a sustainable future. You will be challenged to address the question: Â how do we go about making informed changes in our daily lives that align our actions with our understanding of 21st century challenges with grace and optimism? Â The course compares the socio-cultural and economic values and forces of the late 20th century American society with the shift to an emerging 21st century society of sustainable living, contemplates readings from leading visionaries for a sustainable future, including CU-generated documents, focuses on daily actions you can adopt now that empower you to live a more sustainable lifestyle, and explores opportunities that lie ahead in creating a sustainable 21st century American society. Along the way, you will develop personal definitions of sustainable living that you can take with you and add to on your journey at CU and beyond.
