1) Research any TWO of the following environmental issues: how gases contribute to global climate change, how pollutants cause acid rain, any specific water pollution issue, wastewater treatment, atmospheric ozone depletion, fossil fuel combustion and emissions, electricity production from nuclear power, photovoltaic energy. Explain the chemistry behind the issue (make sure to include at least two different vocabulary terms for each issue (for a total of 4) and underline them). Explain how an understanding of chemistry is essential for understanding the issue. How does your description of each issue demonstrate the first law of thermodynamics? How does your description of each issue demonstrate the second law of thermodynamics? IT NEEDS TO ONLY BE ONE PAGE

– research the topic of the history of global climate change (warming, cooling or other).  -6-7 page paper (not counting title page or reference section). -You are free to discuss whatever aspects you select but make sure your -sources are scholarly and grounded in research   -go back in time as far as you can find information. You can discuss the difference between weather and climate, what we know about climate change and how we know it, reliability of information, and observed climate change on other planets.  -may want to include a section on how the media covers this issue versus the scientific community, lots of flexibility here, but focus on history, not recent events. -also create a power point presentation based on your research. Create presentation as if you were presenting it to at a scientific discussion.

Week 1 Discussion Prompt #1 – Environmental Justice COLLAPSE Provide two examples of environmental justice issues we currently face in our regional and global communities (one from each). What do you think is the most profound underlying reason for environmental justice problems? Suggest a solution ** please cite with scholarly reference and use APA format 7th edtion

Select 3 human impacts you are most interested in learning about. List the following information for how each impact affects ecosystems: a. Describe how the human impact you selected affects the ecosystem. b. Summarize some of the quantitative (graph) data that provide evidence of humans’ impact on the ecosystem. c. Describe specific types of evidence people should look for in their own ecosystem to determine whether humans are changing the local environment. d. Describe what you can do as an individual to limit your impact.

Instructions You are an engineer in a design, build, and operate construction firm. The firm has received four requests for proposals (RFPs) and can only respond to one of these. You have been asked to review the RFP from Washentaw County, Michigan, and write up a three-page executive summary for the marketing team. After reading all of the executive summaries, the marketing team will make a decision about which, if any, of the RFPs to respond to.  The RFP from Washentaw County is located here: https://www.washtenaw.org/DocumentCenter/View/2386/RFP-6857-PDF Your executive summary should include the following items:  an introduction that includes a detailed overview of the project scope;  identification of the required information to be included into the company response to the RFP;  your concerns about any of the obligations in the RFP;  how any negotiations with Washentaw County could affect the decision (i.e.,What collaborative methods of problem solving could be used to solve the marketing team’s problem of choosing an RPF? How could these methods be applied to this situation?); and  your justified recommendation to respond or to pass on this business opportunity. This should include a description of the leadership and management principles that factored into your decision.  Also, as stated in the RFP, the criteria for making a decision will depend on the following three areas: price, collection and methodology, and responsiveness to the bid. While you cannot address the price issue, you can cover in your recommendation discussion the collection methodology and the level of detail that you would recommend when responding to the bid.  Your response should be at least three pages in length. At a minimum, you should use information from your textbook to support your answer, but other academic resources may be used as well. Any resources used should by cited in accordance with APA guidelines. Format your response in APA style to include a title page, running head, and reference page.

Assignment 1: Analysis of the Effects of Population Growth Due Week 4 and worth 110 points Imagine you have been hired as a consultant for the United Nations. You have been asked to write an analysis of how global population growth has caused the following problem and how it affects climate change or population growth in a developing country of your choosing: A growing global population that consumes natural resources is partially to blame for the release of greenhouse gases since human consumption patterns lead to deforestation, soil erosion, and farming (overturned dirt releases CO2). However, the critical issue is the burning of fossil fuels (hydrocarbons) such as coal, oil, and natural gas to produce energy that is used for things such as electricity production, and vehicle, heating, and cooking fuels. The UN has asked that you choose a developing country from this list: https://www.mrs.org/developing-countries-list. The UN has also given you the following guidelines. Content The UN has asked that your paper contain three sections. It has asked that each section be one page (or approximately 300 words) in length and answer specific questions, identified in the outline below. The UN also asks that you use examples from your developing country when answering the questions. Introduction Provide an introduction (a half-page minimum) that addresses points a-e below. Explains the problem the UN has asked you to address in your own words; Identifies the three sections your paper will cover; Identifies the developing country you will consider; Tells the UN which causes of greenhouse gases you will explore; and Provides a one-sentence statement of your solutions at the end of your introduction paragraph. Section I. Background What are greenhouse gases? How do greenhouse gases contribute to global warming? Section II. How Emissions Cause Problems for the Developing World Which countries produce the most greenhouse gases? What are the economic challenges of these emissions (include examples from your chosen country)? What are the security challenges of these emissions (include examples from your chosen country)? What are the political challenges of these emissions (include examples from your chosen country)? Section III. Causes of Greenhouse Gases and Solutions to the Problems Greenhouse Gases Cause Name two causes of greenhouse gases. What are the potential solutions that address each of the causes you identified? What is the relationship between population control and greenhouse gas emissions? Conclusion Provide a conclusion (a half-page minimum) that includes a summary of your findings that the United Nations can use to inform future policy decisions. Success Tips In answering each question, use examples from your developing country to illustrate your points. The UN needs facts and objective analysis on which to base future policy decisions; avoid personal opinion and make sure your answers are based on the information you find through research. Formatting Requirements Make sure your paper consists of four to six pages (re: 1,200 words minimum,not including the cover page, reference page, and quoted material [if any]). Create headings for each section of your paper as follows: Section I. Background Section II. How Emissions Cause Problems for the Developing World Section III. Causes of Greenhouse Gases and Solutions to the Problems Greenhouse Gases Cause Use and cite at least five credible sources in your research. A list of potential resources is available below. Make sure your paper contains both in-text citations and a source list, per SWS guidelines: Refer to the Strayer Writing Standards (SWS) document for reference. Include a cover page with your name, the country you selected, the date you submitted the paper, and your instructor’s name. Potential Sources George Gitlitz. June 19, 2018.

Grading for this assignment will be based on answer quality, logic/organization of the paper, and language and writing skills.
