Saving the planet 1:
'The Market Place'-
Knowledge, concern, action

Introduction

How concerned are you about climate change, recycling and using different forms of energy? How much do you think about sustainable development? In this section, a group of students from a mix of business, arts and recreation management courses are invited to an experiential workshop to learn about the different ways that innovation and entrepreneurship can raise awareness of these issues. There are 5 video clips to study in order to see how we can develop our understanding of the value of recycling materials, how we can use kinetic and solar power more effectively and how we can draw on every day events to further our knowledge. Transcripts - Recycled Materials. - Kinetic and Solar Power. - The things students like. - The mini lecture. - Knowledge and concern
