Greensteps - BIOL392
This unit is offered on a pass/fail basis.
Sustainability is a dynamic concept that is best understood through theoretical and practical acquisition of knowledge. This unit considers some of the major themes underpinning sustainability in practice including: environmental issues and responses, environmental auditing, project planning and management, communication for change and behaviour change. The context for this unit is the workplace and how sustainability can be promoted and implemented. These topics are discussed in workshop style lectures where the emphasis is on interactive learning. Workshops include individual and group work, focusing on organisational responses to environmental issues. The practical component of this unit involves an internship within an organisation to develop and/or implement actions for change towards sustainability. The internship provides students with an opportunity to put theory to practice, gaining valuable experience in actual organisations. Students who are interested in sustainability, environmental management and behaviour change will enjoy this unit. The growing recognition of the importance of integrating social and environmental considerations into business as usual processes makes this unit ever more pertinent.
