Assignment
Conserving and Recycling Presentation
There are countless environmental, conservation, recycling, and energy resource organizations at city and state
levels (in addition to national and global organizations and agencies). In this assignment, you will research a city
or state organization in your hometown or state. For example, if you live in Colorado, you might research the
Colorado Association for Recycling.
From your study of the organization, you will research and design methods for monitoring and minimizing human
impact on the environment. Your designs for monitoring and minimizing will come from the organization's purpose
or goals. For example, if the purpose of the organization is recycling, you could develop a method for how to
monitor the amount of recycled materials in the home and develop a method for minimizing the amount of
recyclables that end up in the trash at home.
You will create a presentation about the organization and your own design. You will describe what the
organization is about and how people can get involved. You will describe the design and details of your plans for
monitoring and minimizing human impact. Your presentation will be eight to ten slides in length and should
include the following information:

Remember to make a list (bulleted, numbered, etc.) on each slide. The slides should feature highlights of the
slide's title. The bullet points should be short phrases (at most, one sentence) that highlight some key points.
