ENVS 302 2E - Dumpster 2 Eternity: Trash & Conseq

3 Credit(s)

This course strives to make visible the by-products of our daily lives, helping us see their travels once we throw them out. Are there alternatives to non-thinking consumption? Is the landfill really the best home for plastic bags? Do we really need all this packaging? What will our trash tell future researchers? As researchers and citizens, we will attempt to answer these questions through shared experiences, reading, and individual exploration.
