Introduction to Aequitas Sustainability.

Catalog description

This course welcomes students to the Aequitas Fellowship Program in Sustainability by providing an introduction to program themes and asking students to begin developing a personal ethic of creation care. In this first course, students will examine the choices that they personally control and the potential impact if individuals make choices with sustainability in mind. Students will examine their personal habits and consumption before working to implement a change guided by the pillars of sustainability. Class discussions will focus on the theological and practical motivations for embracing a personal ethic of creation care and students will begin the work of articulating a personal ethic of creation care that will extend throughout the Aequitas Sustainability program. This class will meet for two hours, once per week in student’s first semester at Wheaton. (Open to Aequitas Fellowship Program in Sustainability students only).
