Environment and Health:  Exploring the Connections, Santa Barbara 

Sustainable living, what does that mean in individual lives? Understanding
sustainability and its importance in people’s lives and to the planet requires
education, smart thinking and the ability to make practical changes in
personal
habits, public policies and social practices. This series is designed to
educate and inform students in order to implement lifestyle choices that
reflect social commitment and environmental responsibility. Join us for a
series of lectures and workshops designed to deepen community awareness of the
fragile relationship that exists between people and their natural environment.
