Sustainability

We're excited for the DLMC and Sustainability departments to offer resources and ideas on how to integrate sustainability while working through this incredible book, Becoming a Good Creature.

Opportunity for schools:
Using the book as an anchor text and sustainability as a lens, students can discuss the following big ideas of sustainability

• PLACE - Natural and human communities together make up one's place

• INTERDEPENDENCE - All living things are connected. Every organism, system, and place depends on others

  • • Elementary: How are we all connected? Who or what depends on you?

    • Middle: In what ways do you depend on others? In what ways do you depend on natural systems?

    • High: How do our choices affect us, our community, and the world? What can communities learn from natural systems to improve our common future?

• Ability to Make a Difference - Everyone has the ability to change or impact a system, community, and themselves
