Through the study of basic ecological concepts, students apply their knowledge to contemporary problems dealing with renewable and nonrenewable resources. Environmental resource problems, such as climate change, water shortage and pollution, energy shortages, air pollution, increasing human populations and wildlife conservation are integrated with political, economic and social implications. The student will consider alternate life styles as possible solutions to existing environmental problems, as well as other means of solving or dealing with these situations.
