This liberal arts course on holistic health focuses on the environmental sustainability approaches with multi-disciplinary perspectives involved in sustainability and its relation to human health. Personal, social, economic, and environmental aspects of making sustainable choices in everyday life will be explored based on the data-based inquiry. The principles and practices of behavior change and pedagogies ingrained in theory and models regarding sustainability will be explored. The methods used to assess and evaluate the consequences of consumption (besides food) and lifestyle decisions will be discussed. Students will work individually and in groups by using experiential learning approaches to examine how to make sustainable choices, exercise personal accountability, and promote health. 3 credits.  LA
