<font size="2">This introductory course focuses on understanding some of the multiple dimensions of the global waste system. Topics are presented in real contexts through case studies, field visits, civic engagement and research. Topics include social justice
and rights, consumer culture, waste streams, waste management, entrepreneurship and innovation on waste, technology evaluation, Life Cycle Analysis and waste assessment.</font><br>
<br>
<font size="2">Labs include field trips to waste-related institutions and businesses and hands-on work on a final project that will be completed with a community partner or be an idea developed by a student(s).</font><br>
<br>
<font size="2">This class aims to build a community that supports students to:</font><br>
<br>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-size:small">Gain a better understanding and appreciation for the formidable challenges related with waste management locally and abroad: difficult waste streams, rising consumer culture, increasing ecosystems pollution, lack of infrastructure
and more.</span></li><li><span style="font-size:small">Gain more experience in technology, policy, and entrepreneurial projects related with waste management through a project-based approach.</span></li><li><span style="font-size:small">Act on important waste issues through building technology (design), civic engagement (dialogue) or artistic expressions (dissemination).</span></li></ul>
<br>
<font size="2">There is potential to travel through class projects; instructors will work with students to help identify potential funding sources.</font><br>
