Make the World a Better Place
Find an organization to support
Environmental Science
Throughout this course we will discuss many concerns that affect the world around you and far away. No matter where the issue is located, with your knowledge, you have a duty to better the world. As a class we will choose one of the following organizations to sponsor in order to make our mark!
Save the Elephants
We will discuss the harsh living conditions for humans in Africa because of poverty and lack of education, and human needs. These conditions lead to people acting in terrible ways to gain money to survive. People become elephant poachers in order to gain the ivory tusks that are worth a great deal of money.
African and Asian Elephants have become an endangered species over the years because of this poaching. Let's help to protect these massive and incredibly beautiful creatures!

Deforestation is a huge issue now-a-days. Many cities are growing outward rather than building up, an increase in sprawl. When this occurs many trees and homes for animals are destroyed. This destruction decreases the levels of oxygen in the air, hurts the ozone levels, and leaves many animals homeless.
Just like in Dr. Seuss' "The Lorax" we need to save the trees. Trees are our main source of oxygen and homes to many creatures. Without trees our world will change for the worse. Help save the trees!
Save the Sea Turtles
There are many issues that occur in the ocean that people naturally don't think about. If they aren't directly affected by it, it's not a main concern to them. Although Pennsylvania is a landlocked state, we will learn about many fishing techniques and the sea creatures that are negatively affected by them. We will also discuss pollution and how many different pollutants can be found in the ocean, where sea creatures can not avoid the danger.
Sea Turtles are animals that are greatly affected by the these pollutants. Let's help raise awareness about pollutants and dangerous fishing techniques in order to save the Sea Turtles!
