CIVICS in paragraph form write to a political candidate informing of them of you have seen the effects of pollution in your community. suggest one thing that should be done in your community to decrease pollution and the loss of natural resources

Dear candidate

In my community there is a river that is very polluted because the industrial firms all pour their waste into the river. So far, the current local government has not done anything, arguing that the river is not used for water treatment to consume. I believe that spite of this, we should try to make the river as clean as possible, in order to protect the enviroment and the interests of other species, for example, the few fish that still live in the river.

I believed that these companies should have a cap on the amount of the pollution they can emit. These cap permits could be traded similar to an emission trading system. I hope you consider these proposals.

Sincerely, potential voter.

president thomas jefferson hoped that the embargo act of 1807 would the united states by demonstrating to britain and france their dependence on american goods, convincing them to respect american neutrality and stop impressing american seamen. instead, the act had a devastating effect on american trade.
