Introducing Environmental Economics with the Use of Customised Relationships

Abstract

Brooks Depro*

Even though teachers have employed real-world situations in introductory economics classes for more than three decades, students still believe that economics has little bearing on their day-to-day lives. I offer three lesson plans on pollution externalities in an effort to raise students' awareness of their significance and make learning about environmental issues "more helpful for more people." I provide students a fresh, contextually rich problem that enables them to relate personally with regional environmental quality metrics. There are two more modules included. Students are exposed to the interdisciplinary area of environmental justice in the second module.
