In the past few years the price of gasoline has tripled in the United States (yet it is still cheaper than in other parts of the world). In addition, a renewed media interest in human induced climate change ("global warming" in the popular press) has led to more public discussion about alternate energy options. What is the current status of energy use in the US? Are we seeing the "End of Oil"? What will take its place? And what can we do - as a society, a school, and individuals - to change our energy practices in the coming years? Join us this Fall Quarter to discuss these questions and join the public debate about our energy future.
The goal of this quarterly “brown bag” seminar is to discuss some of the environmental issues facing the northwest and the world today, through an analysis of current articles and readings. The seminar may include volunteer work, a field trip, and/or guest lectures.
