The purpose of this ETP is to share with my students the knowledge I have gained during this fellowship on climate action that is being implemented by corporate America to address the climate change crisis. This ETP will enable the creation of a lesson where students will have a chance to understand greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) and its impact on global temperature change and calculate the GHG emissions in Scopes 1 and 2 for our school and attempt to calculate some contributions to scope 3 such as student/faculty/staff commute, business travel, some goods and services. The combination of technology, law, ethics and social responsibility makes climate solution an interdisciplinary field that will allow all our students to be engaged in and hopefully create leaders of tomorrow who will think beyond numbers, think about product sustainability and life cycle issues.
