HSBC Institute on the
Environment & the Economy

This program for secondary teachers is designed to integrate the economic way of thinking into environmental science classes. Are there market solutions to environmental problems? Does society have to make an either/or choice between economic development and a clean environment? The class includes a full-day field trip to various Summit County sites that demonstrate how environmental impacts have been mitigated or eliminated by public and private enterprises.
