Prior
to beginning work on this assignment, please review Chapters 5 and 6 in your
course textbook. The purpose of this assignment is twofold: first, to enable
you to explore a term (concept, technique, place, etc.) related to this week’s
theme of sustaining Earth’s biodiversity and ecosystems; second, to provide
your first contribution to a collective project, the Class Sustainable Living Guide.
Your work this week, and in the weeks that follow, will be gathered (along with
that of your peers) into a master document you will receive a few days after
the end of the course. The document will provide everyone with a variety of
ideas for how we can all live more sustainably in our homes and communities.
