Youd need to think of recycling, alternative enrgy, conservation of land, water, and air. The topics of air, water, and land pollution. How to reverse pollution. Prevention of Global Warming. A plan of how the world can overcome the epidemic of using up our resources and the long last affect on the earth. Id reccommened looking at the book Plab B 2.0 by Lester R. Brown! This would be such a good resource. I took an Environmental class with it. I learned a lot from it!
you could have Al Gore fly in on his private jet and then take his limo to the class and teach everybody they should live green
i would include topic like balance in nature, impact of population on environment, agriculture,utilization of resources,environmental concerns, overutlization of resource,pollution,disasrters,human resource,and last but not hte least the role osf individueals community and government.
Improving your environment at work and home by having a live potted plant in every room could be a good starting point.
"Common indoor plants may provide a valuable weapon in the fight against rising levels of indoor air pollution. Those plants in your office or home are not only decorative, but NASA scientists are finding them to be surprisingly useful in absorbing potentially harmful gases and cleaning the air inside modern buildings.
"Combining nature with technology can increase the effectiveness of plants in removing air pollutants," he said. "A living air cleaner is created by combining activated carbon and a fan with a potted plant. The roots of the plant grow right in the carbon and slowly degrade the chemicals absorbed there," Wolverton explains.
NASA research has consistently shown that living, green and flowering plants can remove several toxic chemicals from the air in building interiors. You can use plants in your home or office to improve the quality of the air to make it a more pleasant place to live and work – where people feel better, perform better, any enjoy life more."
I would think that the following points are important:
1) Alternative energy sources, i.e. solar.
2) The business aspect, i.e. cost vs. efficiency.
3) Affects/Effects on the Environment, i.e. how much it reduces global warming.
4) Affects/Effects on People’s Health, i.e. does it reduce health problems.
I wish I’d found this site before I started my business. I could have avoided a lot of costly errors.
