EarthDiverse offers a variety of Environment & Biodiversity courses starting next week

todd from EarthDiverse

EarthDiverse is excited about our three new environment courses in Term 1, beginning the week of Monday 14 February. These are:

• ENV101: THE ORIGINS OF LIFE: In this introductory science course, we’ll travel back in time and think about the birth of our planet and the pre-life chemical interactions that gave rise to life. We’ll then touch on basic concepts in biology and evolution. This course is suitable to high school students and older. Meets Wednesdays 6:00-7:00pm beginning 16 February.

• ENV120: UNDERSTANDING GLOBAL CLIMATE CHANGE"
Climate is complex. This course provides participants with the background necessary to make sense of the news and to understand the science behind the climate change debate. We’ll also discuss how climate change deniers and conspiracy theorists use facts to undermine the truth of our current situation here on Planet Earth. This course is targeted for every person on the planet who is curious and wants to learn something new or a new way to think about our planet. This class is also for those who like to draw diagrams. This class is not for scientists. Suitable to high school students and older. Meets Thursdays 6:00-7:00pm beginning 17 February.

* ENV210: ECOLOGICAL RESTORATION- WETLANDS in Collaboration with GoEco. Wetlands are the kidneys of our landscape. In this series of evening talks, our speakers will reflect on the unique aspects of wetlands, relevant science and innovation. Our Environmental Restoration seminar series takes place on Wednesday nights for four sessions, meeting biweekly, beginning Wed 16 February 2022, 7:30-8:30pm.
