I’m teaching a three-week elective block course on sustainability soon, and I am looking for fun things the students can do as exercises following my slide lectures.
I’m especially keen on something to illustrate the C2C/ Cradle to Cradle Approach.
They are design students at undergrad level, aged between 20 and 50.

One that is very easy to do is what they are wearing. Textiles is a good illustration on all the type of materials used, how hard it is to recycle them, how consumer consumption impacts things (ask them how they would feel with one pair of jeans per year), how the styles make things harder to recycle, etc. Two groups to look at.
