Lesson Description
This week there are several new ideas to consider. These
include natural capitalism, biomimicry, sustainable food systems and
fair trade.
1) Go to the
websites listed above and read the material.
2) Search for other information in articles, books, or websites. These
can be on either side of this issue - in other words, materials that
refute that there is a problem are fine. The goal is to become
educated about the issue from both sides.
3) If
you find good materials or websites, post them on the discussion
