Cocurricular: Earth House
HUB CC 184
In this cocurricular, students explore concepts and practices of sustainability, with Earth House and other BU buildings and outdoor spaces serving as objects of inquiry, and extending to the broader infrastructure and natural systems supporting BU and beyond. Through guided explorations and field trips, and employing direct experiential observations, students examine underpinnings of the three pillars of sustainability - social, environmental, and economic - across four resource domains of food, water, energy, and materials. Effective Fall 2024, this course fulfills a single requirement in the following BU Hub area: Scientific Inquiry I.
