Wasted Well-Being: The Hidden Cost of Environmental Choices on Mind and Body

"In this 5x10 workshop students will reflect on how our daily choices make an impact on our surroundings. We will explore the symbiotic relationship between Environmental Sustainability and Personal Well-being by participating in 3D exploration of VR worlds created by students, then we will reflect on how our daily choices can make a difference in impacting our surroundings such as in Rathbone and Dining Halls and food waste and in the choices we make for our well-being such as in sleep deprivation and therefore getting smarter in the options we do as both consumers and responsible citizens. By communicating the meaningful research we can make a change, using data and resources like VR that cope with our desired audience.
The work that is researched is shared at the UN Academic Impact Workshop where Lehigh presents yearly. We will also check out a brief on what Lehigh’s proposal was, and how you can join! This information was researched by students who participated in the WRT 005 Environmental Sustainability Ethics from the Individual to the Collective Inspiring Action to Impact our community and WRT005 Environmental Sustainability Ethics in the Self, Others and the World. Currently the starting point will be in WRT003 where exploration of Self-Awareness and Self-growth through a SWOT analysis will also be part of the project proposed to the UN on Higher Education Impact Globally.
