This paper describes a workshop offered at an inner city high school that looked at the sustainability of the student’s consumer choices using a systems thinking approach. Students also participated in laboratory experiments to investigate their findings and off-campus field trips to explore sustainable options. Existing surveys showed that students left the workshop with a better understanding of green alternatives and changed the way they think about their purchases.
