Description<\/span><\/h2>\n

Fundamentals of Sustainable Living. This course teaches the fundamentals of incorporating sustainable practices into everyday life with the goal of reducing your environmental footprint, saving money, and becoming a more informed consumer. By providing practical knowledge and techniques to optimize your energy, water, and food consumption, this course helps individuals achieve a more balanced and sustainable lifestyle that has a positive impact on the world around them. Practical benefits of this course include reducing your home\u2019s energy use by 75% or more, heating without fossil fuels, generating clean energy, eliminating or significantly reducing your water bill, growing pesticide-free food and medicine year-round, and making safe and affordable cleaning products at home. These actions can be implemented in any type of setting, from a large estate to a small city apartment. Over the course of twelve half-hour lectures, led by Professor Lawrence Gamble, a leading expert on sustainable living who has not paid an electric bill for more than two decades, the course provides concrete strategies for meeting needs and reducing living costs without compromising the resources of future generations. Sustainability means doing more with fewer resources and working with natural systems without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their needs. The course covers topics such as food production, solar energy, rainwater management, sustainable shelter construction, and compost heat, demonstrating practical applications of these concepts through visits to community gardens, drip irrigation systems, personal greenhouses, and sun-friendly cities. This training goes beyond a practical guide and, by taking a holistic look at the interdisciplinary science of sustainability \u2013 including engineering, physics, biology, chemistry, agriculture, and economics \u2013 and emphasizing systems thinking, gives individuals the insight they need to understand the future and participate in its construction, helping to preserve resources for themselves, society, and future generations.<\/span><\/p>\n
