Ceer | Environmental science homework help

The purpose of this assignment is to increase your awareness of environmental events – many of which have significant impact on all of us yet rarely show up in mainstream media. Through this assignment, you will connect your readings and Forum Discussions to the “real world” and in doing so, begin to see the interrelatedness of the natural, economic, social, and cultural environments of our world.
