32 Day-Commitment Application:
Forestry--Sustainability Class Educator:
Deb Crunkilton, Faculty, Urban Forestry, Implementation:
The introductory sustainability class is designed to increase student
awareness of how the natural world works and how their actions can affect the
world around them. As a class, we develop a list of "sustainable"
behaviors, such as carpooling, eating locally grown foods, taking shorter
showers, etc. Then students are asked to implement a 32-day commitment to
complete at least one behavior from this list each day which has not normally
been a part of their lifestyles; the activity choice would be recorded on the
commitment sheet. A completed record is submitted as part of the course
assignments. This activity promotes more sustainable behaviors in the
students in this class.
