Our Professional Development Training is being reformatted into a self-guided experience that can be accessed anytime.

How did the Baby Boom influence a country’s expansion of roads and carbon emissions?

See, think, and wonder about the exponential growth of post-WW2 U.S. population and how that influenced the development of roads, and rising concerns about the atmospheric health of the planet. Through an environmental movement jettisoned by Rachel Carson’s Silent Spring, learners explore the first Earth Day and the accomplishments of environmental activism.
