INTRODUCTION

The intersection of cultural factors (economy, politics, society, ideology, etc.) and environmental factors (climate, natural disasters, etc.) impacts the health of the Earth. Anthropologists advocate a global perspective which provides valuable cross-cultural comparisons. While it is productive to view other cultures and see the successes and challenges of sustainability efforts across the globe, one can just as easily look into one’s own backyard to assess what we are doing to live sustainable lives.

RESEARCH

For this assignment, we will examine the efforts that Bellevue College has made in advancing its own sustainability practices. Then we will consider our own efforts in this light.

  1. First, read all materials posted in this week and view the PowerPoints, especially the one on Sustainability by the college’s former Sustainability Director Mr. Deric Gruen.
  2. Visit this website to see how the college is becoming ‘greener’ by the day:http://www.bellevuecollege.edu/sustainability/ (链接到外部网站。)

Think about what you can do to contribute to the sustainability efforts on campus. (If you have a great idea, bring it to the attention of the Sustainability Office. You may be eligible for funding!
