Summarize the core ideas presented in the article/current event and then review it.

 

Article: Review a current event/article that focuses on Environmental Problems and/or Sustainability. This should explore a CONTROVERSY! Articles must be a minimum of 1 page! More importantly, any articles submitted for this assignment must have been published no earlier than January 1, 2017. Be sure to use credible websites – peer review or journal articles are better than reports from CNN, but I will accept anything that is credible. Note: It should not be a report on melting ice or fires in Northern California! If there are not TWO sides to the issue that you are reporting on, then it is NOT an acceptable issue!!
