Green Generation is allows students to apply ecology content to real world problems, such as anthropogenic climate change. With our growing population and unsustainable farming methods, our environment is constantly at stake. How can you become part of the change? This class will not only help you visualize your impacts on your environment, but we believe that it is also a large leap to our goal of becoming part of the solution to global problems.
