Eco-Industrialism Curriculum
Introduction
This document contains the complete curriculum for studying “eco-industrialism,” a philosophy of agriculture and industry which emphasizes democracy and sustainability.
The curriculum is being created by me, emsenn, for myself, to learn about these topics outside of a formal education institution.
Please note that this whole thing is in early development. If you have any input, especially recommended things to learn and things to learn them from, please let me know!
