The Sustainability Major takes an approach to Education for Sustainability (EfS) that clearly transcends disciplinary boundaries, while being grounded in a systems approach to an equity-based nested-Triple Bottom Line model. As local governments, civil society organizations and businesses increasingly recognize the need for alternative practices, individuals who can implement trans-disciplinary and integrative approaches are sorely needed to engage with the entirely “wicked” problems of the Anthropocene–the term now widely accepted as describing our current epoch, one in which humans are now the dominant geologic force acting on planetary systems–representing the environmental, economic, and cultural transformations wrought by humans acting on the ecosphere, since at least the start of the industrial revolution.
