We live in a time unlike any other in history.
Humanity is on the threshold of shutting down the life support systems of the planet.
Some would suggest that there remains open to us a small window of time in which we can act to stave off planetary catastrophe. This senior seminar will focus on some of the current issues pertaining to the environment, with a view to understanding some of the causes, effects, social implications and possible solutions to problems such as contamination of our waters, pollution of the atmosphere, species extinction, waste disposal and resource depletion.
