Description
Students are confronted every day with global environmental issues of a political and economic nature that require balanced understanding. Students must also cope with everyday environmental situations at home, at school or in their immediate surroundings that require attention and involve decision-making. In the personal project students may therefore choose to explore issues such as:
- the interdependence of human and other forms of life
- the consequences of human manipulation of the environment
- pollution and population growth
- the links between health and changes in the environment
- world problems and common issues
- local, regional, national and international responsibilities
- the environmental choices and opportunities offered by technology
- the political responsibility of each individual.
