Use This Earth Day to Make a Difference With Your Study Abroad

Earth day is April 22nd. What a perfect opportunity to take stock of what you are doing to make this world a better place for today, and the future! Our melting world is one of many issues that require our generation’s immediate attention, leaving us as individuals with two options: do something about it or wait for someone else to. Just by checking out this blog, I’m guessing you’re not the type of person to sit around wait for somebody else to do something. But did you know, choosing the right study abroad program could be a great place to start.

I wish we could all save the world today. While there are many things we can do today to cope with the existing problems we all face, a more practical approach is to also start building the intellectual foundations necessary to grapple with such complex problems. For example, if you’re interested in learning more about the environmental aspects of global warming you can check out CEA’s Climate Change, Sustainability and Energy Policy study abroad program in Brighton (England) or our Global Warming and Sustainable Development study abroad program in Madrid. But the consequences of this transformation do not solely affect just our planet’s climate. So if you’re inclined to explore the economic and social aspects of global warming, you should consider our Green Collar Business course in Paris or courses like “Environmental Impact and Social Development” or “Tropical Marine Biology” in Costa Rica, among others.

You recycle your soda cans and swap out as many incandescent light bulbs as possible, but your understanding on what role you can play will be incomplete until you actually get out there and see what’s going on. Many of our courses and programs will give you the opportunity to put theory into practice and witness first hand some of the ecological damage already taking place. But it’s the people that matter most. Meeting and hanging out with folks from different parts of the globe is not only fun, it also makes you realize that we can’t resolve any of these problems on our own. This extended amount of time in another country will compel you to redefine human relations, the way our world functions, and your role in it.

Celebrate the Earth by signing up for Green focused courses with CEA. To learn more about your options, give us a call at 1-800-266-4441.
