Maya,
If you're interested in greening curricula and haven't, yet, read it, you might want to get the following book on the subject:
Greening the College Curriculum: A Guide to Environmental Teaching in the Liberal Arts (Paperback) by Rainforest <st1:city><st1:place>Alliance</st1:place></st1:city> (Corporate Author), <st1:personname>Jon</st1:personname>athan Collett (Editor), Stephen Karakashian (Editor)
You can view it at Amazon.com here: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/1559634227/qid=1128257046/sr=1-1/ref=sr_1_1/103-7931837-8856611?v=glance&s=books.
Best wishes,
Amy
