Regina Hall Instagram – Today’s #WCW goes to Sage Lenier (@SageLenier), a 21-year old student professor (yes, professor!) at @UCBerkeleyOfficial. Her course, Zero Waste: Solutions for a Sustainable Future, part of the @DeCalprogram—in which students create, teach, and facilitate classes with faculty oversight, is a crash course in all the things we can do to save the planet. Sage, who is a conservation and resource studies major was inspired to create the course after becoming dissatisfied with how #environmental issues are typically taught. Her goal was to build something that could be handed to the average person and easily digested into #tangible, scalable, hopeful #solutions. So how’s the class going, you ask? Well…when she first offered the course, there were 25 students enrolled. Now, four semesters later, there are more than 160 students in the class and another 45 on the #WaitingList. I’d say it’s going VERY well. “Most of the solutions to the environmental problems we face are not awaiting invention, but merely implementation.” #savetheplanet #socialjustice #racialjustice #environmentaljustice #environmentalracism #ucberkeley
