In Pursuit of Sustainability: The Principles and Processes Inherent to All Sustainable Solutions
Course ID: SUST-706
Hosted by Northwest Environmental Training Center

Description: While the term “sustainable” is widely evident in today’s common language and market places, it is equally evident that few who use the term truly consider its full breadth and extremely significant connotation. As a result, most approaches labeled as “sustainable” are essentially piecemeal or limited in approach, leaving out important relevant considerations and remaining open to critique as representing one or another “special interest”.


The approach of this class takes a different tack. By beginning with the consideration of the interests affected by a proposal, and crafting logical designs that take these into account, one can achieve more durable and progressive results. Participants of this class will become familiar with elements that constitute “sustainability” at its core; develop skills and insights to identify best sustainable practices; and learn to develop and implement their own sustainable initiatives
