I wanted to add my remix of **Urban Ecology** (UE) with a sustainability turn: ![map-525349_1920 (1)](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex036/uploads/mit2/original/2X/a/acf0ad4cd19c7d92c69257986a2cff89cdfef305.png) ![pollution-4855507_1920 (1)](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex036/uploads/mit2/original/2X/c/c8374adb269002fbf796f7de82e3d3025729d8dd.jpeg) ![safety-net-3289548_1280 (1)](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex036/uploads/mit2/original/2X/0/0871730e8403fb0b1c815f8808dd0e0a5da62630.jpeg) ![garbage-2416602_1920 (1)](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex036/uploads/mit2/original/2X/8/8a68bf6f1469f8e25eac16b3d46e8eb8a7c02fb3.jpeg) **Map the plastic!** Expand UE by noticing MORE of the impact humans have on the nature around us. Take a field trip to find plastics in the urban wilds, catalog and sort your findings, and create a Google Earth layer that different groups of patrons can add to over time: tweens, teens, adults can make this a one-off or a year-long project. This is a great way to discover meaning and tie into **social-emotional learning** , too. You could also explore the landscape through the lens of **Landscape Justice** , creating and discovering knowledge of local environmental conditions in poor or redlined neighborhoods. --- _[View the full topic](https://heyplix.mit.edu/t/2023-april-workshop-remixing-for-sustainability/1324)._
