Search online for two articles from a reputable source (e.g., newspapers, news magazines, but not personal opinion pages) on one regional environmental issue (preferably in Michigan). To get started, below are two websites with a variety of environmental issues to help you start thinking about what issues you are most interested in - but if you already have an issue in mind that interests you, please use that topic. Some examples might be frac sand mining, pollution of water, biodiversity challenges, etc. Please avoid using an environmental issue that someone has already chosen. A regional environmental issue might be one that is unique only to your area (city, state, or larger region), but it may be an issue that affects other parts of the country and/or world (e.g., acid precipitation, groundwater contamination, wetland destruction, habitat degradation, etc). Please write a post for the environmental issues you pick in 12-14 sentences.
