Assignment:

THE TOPIC IS FRESH WATER

Objective of this Assignment: To research an environmental topic and discuss the interconnectedness of impacts related to this topic.

One of the key concepts in environmental citizenship is the idea that we are all interconnected in a single global system- connected to each other and to our surroundings (the air, water, land, plants and animals around us). When something occurs or changes in one part of the system, it has repercussion elsewhere in the system, either as a major precipitating incident or as a trickle-down type effect.

Once your topic is chosen, use whichever resources are available to you (textbooks, course materials, internet, libraries, personal experience, etc...) to research your topic. Your written report should identify your topic and speak to the interconnectedness of impacts related to your topic. For example, if you choose clear-cutting a forest as your topic, your paper should summarize the activity of clear-cutting and identify the impacts that this activity has, for example, on the land, biodiversity, water, and human life of the surrounding area.
