Overview
Imagine that our class has been invited to speak at a conference that will be attended by a cross-section of the American public who are likely voters and have listed the environment as a high priority issue for them, but they can't seem to find the time to read up on things that they hear about briefly on the news. The group is non-partisan, and they are looking for a brief synopsis from people who have taken the time to do some research.
Your task is to put together a brief PowerPoint presentation that explains an aspect of environmental science that you think the general public should know more about. You may choose any topic discussed in your textbooks, whether we covered it or not.
