Health: Connecting People
Place and PlaneT-Part 2
A Four-Part Lunch and Learn Series
Awarding 12
hours of Professional Development
Participants will become aware of the
environmental health concerns that exist within
our communities and how community planning and
design affect human and ecological health. The
link between industrial consumer culture and
human and community health will be explored as
well as the relationship between consumption
levels and human well-being. Explore the impact
of consumption on planetary waste and those
impacts on community health. Broaden your
thinking about health to include the ecological
realities in which we live exploring how our
human health and well-being is ultimately
dependent on the health of the planet. (Part 2
of a 2 part series, Part 1 is prerequisite.)

GSELS Learning Network:
Transforming Paradigm
Offering 6 hours Professional
Development Credit
This workshop offers an overview of Earth Ethics
Institute’s Global Sustainability and Earth
Literacy Studies (GSELS) Learning Network.
Participants learn about development and
operations of GSELS. GSELS faculty learn how to
broaden their GSELS-designated courses to
include additional GSELS course criteria, as
well as best practices of faculty learning
communities. Participants explore Sustainable
Education, a concept created by Stephen Sterling
and described as “a change of educational
culture, one which develops and embodies the
theory and practice of sustainability in a way
which is critically aware. Contrast will be
made of mechanistic versus ecological
worldviews, and a multidisciplinary
collaborative approach to education will be
endorsed.

Awarding 4
hours of Professional Development -(in
approval process)
Friday, March 9, 2018
The need for sustainable design and resilient
infrastructure is becoming more and more
apparent in this era of increasing threats due
to climate change. Miami is widely recognized to
be one of the most vulnerable areas of the
United States to sea level rise. The Patricia
and Phillip Frost Science Museum was designed
with this in mind, and serves as a model of
practical applications of sustainable design.

Plants and Indoor Air
Quality
Find out how plants help keep office air healthy
15 plants have been identified as great air
purifiers
Projects like installing new
carpet and painting walls can release chemicals that pollute indoor
air. These are called VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds), they’re
chemicals used to manufacture and maintain
building materials, interior furnishing,
cleaning products and personal care products.
Luckily, some houseplants moonlight as efficient
purifiers. For the best results, put as many
plants as you can care for in the rooms you use
most.
