Description

Germany is the land of 'Energiewende'. In this class, students will learn about Germany's politically supervised shift in direction from nuclear and fossil fuels to renewable sources of energy. Through authentic texts, podcasts and videos students will learn about sustainability, renewable energies, environmentally compatible mobility, efficient use of resources, and how environmental protection is implemented in Germany. The class will include a trip to the Campus Farm, the sustainable straw bale house, and the Ann Arbor Farmer's market. Students will also have a chance to engage in virtual conversation with people from Germany to find out how the Germans practice sustainability in their everyday life.

Successfully completing German 232: Environment and Sustainability would help students to qualify for the Excellence in Sustainability Honors Cord Program. More info here: Sustainability Honors Cord | Planet Blue Campus
