Boston University's School of Education is committed to education and practices that
foster ecological sustainability. Through a unique, energetic, and
always expanding collective of faculty, students, and staff known as sedGreen, we have installed solar panels and
a small wind turbine as part of an educational demonstration project;
embarked on an important energy-reduction campaign; developed a
high-compliance recycling program; demonstrated human and bike power
within renewable energy and good health objectives; partnered with the
Tiputini Biodiversity Station in the northwest Amazon to further
conservation biology education; and we constantly strive toward making
sustainability thinking a part of the fabric of our many courses and
policies.

This film documents the project of Brazilian artist Vik Muniz as he
travels to the world's largest trash dump ("Jardim Gramacho") on the
outskirts of Rio de Janeiro. His intent is to capture the lives of the
"catadores”—self-designated
pickers of recyclable materials who make their livings off the land
fill. Both devastating and inspiring, "Wasteland" has an unforgettable
environmental and humanitarian message.
