Course objective:

To learn about mineral, water, and food resources, in the context of economic and environmental consequences of their extraction and use; and the differences between concepts of sustainability of resource utilization in the short term (e.g., market cycles, electoral cycles), longer term (decades to centuries) and ultimate sustainability of industrial society.

The Wikipedia assignment will be to choose one element or commodity and either make substantial edits to or write entirely new sections of the Wikipedia articles on that subject.
