The Environmental Justice + Humanities Hub will combine humanities insights—from disciplines including history, anthropology, philosophy, and literature, among others—with environmental studies to create more well-rounded and effective solutions to environmental challenges, while teaching students to work closely with communities and address pressing issues in a meaningful way.
The project’s development has included leaders and collaborators from the School for Environment and Sustainability, Program in the Environment, Office of the Provost and College of Literature, Science, and the Arts.
Tires are an indispensable part of daily life. Without them, our vehicles would just be a bunch of assembled parts — convenient to sit in, but not effective for getting where you are going.
While their usefulness is undisputed, tires do come with some problems. A 2016 Federal Highway Administration report found 280 million tires are discarded annually in the United States. Globally, this number is much higher — over a billion, according to a report by the World Business Council for Sustainable Development.
