Syllabus:
Course syllabus for Fall 2010.

Course Description:
Freshman/ Sophomore Seminar on CARES (Community Assessment of Renewable Energy and Sustainability) with application to the Pinoleville Pomo Nation. 

CARES research has shown that living sustainably, having access to accurate environmental data, and having implementable solutions are of major concerns to consumers. Research also indicates that people would be more eager to adopt a sustainable lifestyle if they are able to collaborate, share and work together with others. 

CARES seeks to help reduce climate change by being the first to close the loop of assessment, advisement and implementation of more sustainable lifestyles. This seminar will cover approaches to community assessment of renewable energy, with a focus on conservation, geothermal, microhydo-electric, solar photovoltaic, solar hot water heating, and wind energy. 

We will also explore issues associate with creating a "green corridor" with electric vehicles in the San Francisco Bay Area with connections to Northern California tribes.
