Human Impact Policy Design Project
by Aimee Quinn
In this project, students will choose an environmental problem to research. They will look up why this problem is occurring and how it is harming the environment. Students will then come up with two policies that could solve the problem. Like in the real world, there are always trade-offs. Students must acknowledge both the pros and cons of the policy solutions. Students are encouraged to think outside the box while providing real solutions to real problems.
