Abstract
Sustainability is a really important issue that affects everyone on the planet but is not talked about nearly enough. Students are not being taught in depth about sustainability, what it is, and why it's important. I think that it's essential to provide students with facts and practical solutions about sustainability. This could help to positively impact future generations to make more sustainable decisions as an entire society. Conducting this research to display an interest and a need for it as well as what it could hypothetically look like in a classroom is an important step in making it a reality. I conducted a survey based on potential methods of integrating sustainability in composition to gauge what students showed the most interest in to try to find what would be most effective in a classroom. The goal of my study is to see not only how to teach sustainability but how to teach it in a way that gets students interested and care about the topic.
