Public Awareness Campaign: Let’s not waste our resources!

Your task is to create awareness among the Middle School North “public” about a waste of resources. In order to do this, you must show evidence of the following actions:

1. Brainstorming problems- where are resources wasted?

2. Brainstorming solutions- how could changes be enacted?

3. Research the problem- find facts to support your argument

4. Create a product- convince the MSN “public” that they are wasting a resource and motivate them to conserve that resource
