Earth Matters

Resources for Sustainable Living

Charlie Headington, Ph.D.


Classes at the University of North Carolina Greensboro

I teach for-credit courses at UNCG in a variety of undergraduate and graduate programs. They are all related to sustainable living. North Carolina residents may take these courses inexpensively and I recommend the Master of Liberal Studies program in the Division of Continual Learning, 336-334-5414. My base department is Religious Studies where I have an office and telephone, 336-334-5762.
