Title and a brief description of the institution’s free, online sustainability course:
In 2018 Penn State offered a MOOC (=Massive Open Online Course) delivered by FutureLearn titled "Energy, the Environment and Our Future", taught by Richard Alley, professor of Geosciences. Short Description: Learn where we get our energy from today and why we need to change our energy system now, to avoid future changes to our climate. Our ancestors burned trees and whales far faster than nature produced more, gaining good from the energy but causing big problems. Today we burn fossil fuels, which allows us to live well, but will cause even bigger problems in the future.
