    We have discussed groundwater and air pollution issues in class.  this assignment expands on those discussions.  You are to find a recent article dealing with a groundwater or air pollution problem or issue-- simple data reports are not sufficient.  You need to clip the article or copy it, write a summary of it, AND write an analysis of the article, discussing the points it made, and whether or not you think they were valid.  Submit the article along with your paper.


 
The article MUST BE from one of these types of sources:
i.  a national newspaper, such as NY Times, the Washington Post, the LA Times,...
ii.  a national news magazine such as Time, Newsweek, US News & World Report, Forbes, ...
iii.  a web site put up by a reputable source such as the Environmental Protection Agency, the NJ Department of Environmental Protection, the Sierra Club, U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service,...Joe's web page is not acceptable.  This type of source can be problemmatic, so if you are not sure about the site, clear it with me BEFORE you write the essay.
