Experiment with sustainability report This assignment is an opportunity for students to explore ideas to improve social and ecological well-being. In particular, this assignment asks students to: 1) Do something extraordinary that enhances social and/or ecological well-being, and 2) Reflect on their experience. The experiment may be something the student does independently from others, or something they do for others. The experiment should typically last two weeks. The best experiments often are those where students leave their comfort zone, and try something that is new to them.
