Initial Post Prompt:

There are two prompt options. Choose ONLY ONE prompt to respond to in your initial post. You may reply to posts based on either prompt.

Option #1 National Power Generation:

A key factor related to both environmental degradation in general and climate change, in particular, is the way society generates power. For this forum, each student should choose and research that country's power generation strategy. What percentage of the country's electricity comes from coal, oil, gas, nuclear power, and renewables? What is the state of the country's energy infrastructure? Are any new plants coming on line? Does this create concerns for business in this country? Does it create environmental concerns in this country and globally? Use data and evidence to support your research.

This is a first-come, first-served assignment. In other words, once someone has created a primary post for a particular country, other students may not use that country for their primary post.

Option #2 Dealing with Plastic Pollution

The closing case study in Chapter 10 is about plastic and the environmental impact of plastic waste. For this forum, each student should choose a country (not the United States) and research that country's policy to reduce plastic waste. Has the government put restrictions on plastic packaging? Are there economic incentives for companies to switch from plastic to more sustainable materials? How have consumers been integrated into the program?

What has been the results of the program – cite relevant data.

Countries should be selected from within specific continents on the following basis:

Student last names starting with:
A – G: Europe
H – N: Asia
O – S: Africa
T – Z: South America

### PLEASE CHOOSE EITHER France, Italy, Switzerland.
 

This is a first-come, first-served assignment. In other words, once someone has created a primary post for a particular country, other students may not use that country for their primary post.
