TERRE HAUTE — What is the true cost of our food? How windy must it be to generate enough power using wind turbines? What is “biomass”?
These and many other questions were addressed Thursday at an all-day teach-in on the campus of St. Mary-of-the-Woods College, where presenters faced the issue of sustainability, from the perspectives of health, food, environment, economics and the arts.
The second “Focus the Woods” teach-in dealt with the topic of sustainability. In 2008, the topic was climate change, and the program coincided with the national “Focus the Nation” teach-in, that involved more than 1,000 participating colleges nationwide.
