Homework
Sustainable Living Guide Contributions: Sustaining Biodiversity and Ecosystems
Prior to beginning work on this homework, read Chapters 1 and 2 in the course textbook. The purpose of this homework 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 that 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.
To complete this homework,
• Select a term from the list of choices in the Term Selection Table located in the course. Type your name in the table, next to the word that you would like to choose.
• Do not select a term that a classmate has already chosen; only one student per term. If you choose a term that is hyperlinked to a source, that term is one that is not mentioned in our textbook. Instead of being required to use the text as your third source for completing the homework, you will be expected to use the hyperlinked source provided for you.
