< pstyle="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
ASSIGNMENT: Your job is to write a pretend’ letter to a political figure (i.e. Stephen Harper, an MP, Minister of the Environment, etc.). We will not be sending these letters.
< pstyle="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
In this letter you will do the following.
< pstyle="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
Section one: Outline your concern about climate change and global warming, citing a few details and ideas from the articles in this module to support your concerns.
< pstyle="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
Section two: Outline your concerns about the tar sands and our oil consumption, once again primarily citing articles or film clips from the module.
< pstyle="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
Section three: Primarily using material in the module briefly present 2-3 possible solutions or changes that both Canadians as a whole (or government policy) could make, while adding one change that you as a personal citizen plan to make to help reduce climate change. Section 3 will be the conclusion of your letter also.

The ‘letter’ aspect of this assignment is just to give you a focus and rationale for what you are writing. The MAIN objective of this paper however is to be more like a mini-essay that presents a postion and logical points using research and references. Your job is to present clear positions and arguments, but keep it short, clear and succinct. A major purpose of this assignment is that you show me you have read the articles, thought about them, and can use the information or ideas to present an argument. If you simply present your thoughts without any reference to the articles, you will not pass and are missing the point of this assignment. It’s great to have your own ideas, but support them with logic and information from the articles and films of the module. Although you are asked to focus mostly on the course articles, you may do some additional research if you feel it helps your position.
< pstyle="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
< pstyle="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">

The author of what can we do to stop global warming suggests that if more trees were planted, we could decrease the level of C02 in the atmosphere.
< pstyle="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
Or, if you are quoting directly. We need to plant more trees (Jones, Stop Global Warming) is a correct premise as this could lead to the reduction of C02 and is something that all people on this planet can do.
