Additionally, the relationship of man and the environment is studied using local, regional and global environmental issues and solutions as a means of building environmental ethics and awareness. The goal of this class is for students to be able to make the connections between what we as a society do and the impacts theses decisions on the world as a whole and their local environment in particular.

The class is a heterogeneous classroom where each student must decide which academic level they are going to take the class at. The emphasis is for students to push themselves with the awareness that if for whatever reason it becomes necessary for the student to change their level they can do so without fear of reprisal or judgement.
