You are to present a local environmental issue or problem, solution(s) to the problem, associated COSTS and BENEFITS to the solution(s), and a determination of the best solution(s). As an example, a runoff from a coalmine may be contaminating the groundwater of a nearby town. A solution to abating the contaminated groundwater could be to shut down the coalmine, but at the cost of everyone losing their jobs. A benefit to this solution could be clean drinking water for the community. There are a host of other costs and benefits to this one solution associated with the above example. There are also many alternatives for solutions, none of which would make everyone happy. It is your job to find these costs and benefits for whatever solution(s) you choose and defend your solution(s) to the problem “ most likely by choosing the solutions where the benefits outweigh the costs. Include a slide with the title of your presentation, then an introduction slide(s) describing the environmental problem and then naming the solution(s) (this is your main topic), the main body of the presentation should describe the solution and the costs and benefits to the proposed solution, then a slide(s) with a summary and recommendations, and finally, a slide with your references.
