SOC 120 SCSU Environment and Civil Society Discussion

The readings from chapters 11, 15, 17, and 18 in Conley offer some insight into the sources of our environmental problems, as well as the potential avenues for solutions.  In addition, the PowerPoint lectures on Politics, Civil Society, and Leisure and Health, Environment and Population offer additional insight.  

Clearly explain, according to material from those readings and lectures, dominant social causes of environmental problems.  Secondly, clearly describe the challenges to strengthening civil society to combat environmental problems.  Much of the second part will come from the Politics, Civil Society, and Leisure lecture and chapter 18.
