For a week, Olivia Aguilar's Environmental Studies 101 class entered a world with no plastic water bottles, no paper towels, no food waste, and no carbon footprint. For one week, the class attempted to have as little impact on the environment as possible.
The week-long experience draws inspiration from the book "No Impact Man", in which author Colin Beavan spends an entire year learning to carry on everyday life with little or no environmental impact.
Watch as Aguilar's class prepares for the week to come.
Students also blogged about their weeklong experience - http://bit.ly/bQEUL5
Denison University has a listed price of $47,800 for tuition, room & board, and fees for the 2010/2011 academic year. It is humorous to see these students spend that much money to take a pud Environmental Studies class. Hey students, guess what? You can read "No Impact Man" for free without spending $47k/year!!
