This
class will explore the connections between economic growth and environmental
sustainability. How should a society manage its critical natural resources,
such as timber, water and energy to accommodate both economic development
and a clean environment? What are the economic tradeoffs? Teachers will
learn how economic ideas and thinking can supply answers to these questions?
This class will also supply teachers with a classroom simulation that helps
students to understand how their daily decisions create an environmental
“footprint.”
