To complete this lab,
Listen to the recorded interview ‘The Sound of a Snail’: A Patient’s Greatest Comfort.
Go outdoors: Find a place outside where you can be in nature for at least 1 hour. This could be a national, state, or local park; a city square with trees and gardens; an old cemetery; or even your own backyard. Be creative. For those of you who may believe nature isn’t around you or will not have the opportunity to venture into nature, the recorded interview ‘The Sound of a Snail’: A Patient’s Greatest Comfort may inspire you with creative ways to complete this assignment, particularly if you are living in a highly urban area.
Observe: Once you are outdoors, choose a comfortable spot where you can stand or sit quietly for at least 1 hour of continuous solitude. Set your smartphone to airplane mode. Take a photo of the view from your spot. Then, quietly take in your surroundings. What do you notice? Use your sight, hearing, smell, and feeling to take the world in. Be as still and quiet as you can. Here are some questions to guide your observations:What is the weather?
What is the quality of light outside?
What do you hear?
What do you see?
What do you smell?
How do you feel?
What parts of the landscape appeal most to you?
What do you notice that makes you curious?
What can you observe about the landscape? (Are there several trees? How many distinct types? Are you in a meadow? Are there different flowers? Are you by the ocean? Are there birds? What are any organisms present currently doing?)
Write down a scientific question that you could pose related to where you are conducting your nature experience. What would be your hypothesis? How would you conduct research to test your hypothesis?
Write: Either while you are outdoors or immediately on your return, write at least 250 words about your nature experience. Use paragraphs and cover both what you directly experienced during your time outdoors and your feelings and reflections on that experience. Be sure to describe where you went and the time of day during your observation.
Research idea: During your time in nature, think of one question related to what you are observing. This should be a scientific question about the plants, animals, human impacts, or environmental phenomena being observed. Form a hypothesis that you could test with an experiment or observational study. Briefly describe how you would conduct the experiment or observational study to test your hypothesis.
Contemplate: Using your nature experience and learning throughout this class, think about the philosophical question of whether humans are part of nature or are somehow separate from nature. There is no right or wrong answer, but you must answer this question for yourself and provide your reflections on this debate.
Create: Choose a creative means of sharing your nature experience, and what you learned from it, with the class. This could be a series of photographs with captions; a poem; song; brief, personal essay; artwork; the design for a board game; video of some kind; or any other creative avenue you can think of. The work should be entirely your own product.
Share: Share your Nature Experience with the class no later than Day 3 of Week 5 by uploading it to the Nature Experience discussion board. Your submission should include the following components:a photograph of the view from your nature observation spot
written observations and reflections about your nature experience
your scientific question, your hypothesis, and a brief description of how you would conduct research to test that hypothesis
your discussion of whether you think that human beings are part of nature or separate from nature and why
your creative project inspired by your nature experience (or, if necessary, a link to your work)
Policies: Utilize the En-ROADS Assignment Section One Plan to address the following:Name of your plan.
Screenshot of the main En-ROADS interface with results.
Bullet points summarizing the most-important policies and outcomes.
Pasted text from Actions & Outcomes documenting assumptions and policy settings used.
Pasted URL of your scenario.
In your Section 1 content, you may also choose to share screenshots of specific graphs that caught your attention and are worth noting. Refer to the Illustrative Example included with the template for guidance on what your Plan should look like.

In this final paper, you will consider the sustainability challenges that your home community currently faces and propose components of a plan tailored to meet those challenges. Think about your home community; this might be the community where you are living now, or a previous place that you identify with closely and still consider to be home (such as where you grew up). Drawing on your own memories and some online research, explore the challenges the community faces to becoming truly sustainable someday. In this paper, you will consider the sustainability challenges that your home community currently faces and propose components of a plan tailored to meet those challenges.
You will map out specific, concrete changes (in policy, technology, or everyday life) that your community would need to take to achieve sustainability. Provide clear, detailed examples of strategies, drawn from all you have learned relating to this course’s five weekly themes. Your examples should be based on our current scientific knowledge and level of technology (in other words, no inventing a new energy source from lightning or a new, low-energy means of generating fresh water from the oceans). Your suggestions should be tailored to the particulars of your chosen community. If you live in the Pacific Northwest, proposing solar power throughout your town would not be highly effective. Finally, you will imagine what that sustainable future neighborhood, town, or region would look like. How would it be fundamentally different from today? The final paper is worth 12% of the course grade.
To prepare for this assignment, review all chapters of Bensel and Carbone’s (2020) Sustaining Our Planet text.
In your assignment, craft a seven-paragraph essay that includes the following:
Paragraph 1
Describe your home community, using the Arzaville description in past class discussions (Weeks 2 through 4) as an example of the kinds of information you might include.Discuss at least three of the biggest challenges that your home community faces on the path to achieving sustainability.
Paragraph 2
Explain at least three concrete actions that your community might take that would enhance its ability to sustain local biodiversity and ecosystems.
Paragraph 3
Discuss at least three specific steps your community might take to improve its capacity for sustaining local soils and sustainable agriculture.
Paragraph 4
Describe at least three measures that might be taken by your home community to help sustain its freshwater resources.
Paragraph 5
Propose at least three concrete steps your community might take to better sustain local air quality and reduce negative impact on the global climate.
Paragraph 6
Discuss at least three specific actions your community might take to manage, reduce, or eliminate its waste more sustainably.
Paragraph 7
Identify three specific actions that you might take, at the community level, to help support sustainability for your home place.
Considering the strategies that you have shared in your essay, assess whether your community could achieve sustainability at some point in the future. Why or why not?
