About Sustainable Scandinavian Systems
This 3 credit Sterling College field study program entails travel to Scandinavia in May, 2009, to research environmental sustainability practices in Iceland, Sweden, Norway, and Denmark.
Site visits and activities include:
• Alternative energy facilities--solar collection, geothermal, bio-mass, wind-farms;
• Schools, cities, communities, “eco-villages,” and industries practicing and teaching environmental sustainability;
• NGOs and government agencies—meeting active members dedicated to developing green technologies and improving the environment;
• Seminars with international delegates on issues of organic agriculture and forestry.
We at Sterling College believe fostering a responsible attitude toward sustaining our planet is an essential outcome as we engage in educating the next generation of student leaders. The Scandinavian countries have developed striking examples of local and national "systems thinking" practices that help protect the environment. We can benefit by studying these examples as models for improving our own North American ecological practices.
