Free Summer College Classes!
Extremely motivated college students tend to take advantage of the summer break by earning a few additional credits with their downtime. Why not join them in this venture and take some college courses of your own! This email will include classes with insight into the oceans, the climate and sustainable living.
The classes below give you an opportunity to keep learning about topics that are important to everyone on the planet! Learn more about the classes in the descriptions and find the classes at the buttons below.

Oceanography from UCLA - Get introduced to all things regarding the ocean that covers most of Earth. While a known substance, there is so much most of us have to learn about the ocean and this class certainly helps start that process!

Oceans in Peril from World Sciences U - Many facets of life today strongly impact the state of oceans. These impacts have lead to increased challenges from climate change to industrial fishing to oil drilling and spills! Learn how you can still make a difference in this class.
Adaptation to Climate Change from Cambridge University - Climate change is an issue that we all are facing, even to the point that there are full commercials dedicated to it. How can we adapt? Learn that in a series of seminars from the reputable Cambridge University.

How Climate Works from High Meadows Environmental Institute - A multiple speaker series grouped together on Youtube is a great introduction on how climate works. Focused on distinguished speakers that take you through exactly how various ecosystems interact and contribute to our day-to-day climate.
Sustainable Living from UCLA - We've all heard about sustainable living throughout the years, whether it's been turning out lights, limiting water use or driving only when necessary. Those tips we all know, but the speakers in this UCLA developed course speak to specialized systems and extra steps we can all take to truly live sustainable lives!
