<\/a><\/strong>teaching towards sustainability lends itself to place-based and project-based approaches to pedagogy.\u00a0 although sustainability is a global goal, its problems and solutions are always importantly situated in local ecologies and communities.\u00a0 instructors might consider taking a \u201cbioregional\u201d approach to teaching about place, encouraging students to think about their local watershed as a meaningful way to conceptualize community.\u00a0 in addition, focusing on sustainability solutions requires the cultivation of an imaginative experimentalism \u2013 the difficulties involved in transitioning to a more sustainable world can only be worked out in the process of formulating practical alternatives to the problems at hand.<\/p>\n
