Students also must understand the basic science of each problem and possible solutions. Acid Rain in Europe, 19779-1989 covers the negotiation of the Long Range Transport Pollution treaty. This was the first ever international pollution control treaty and remains at the forefront of addressing European pollution. This game can be used in a variety of ways and to examine either sulfur dioxide pollution, nitrogen oxide pollution, or both. This game includes summaries of a number of relevant technical articles to support student arguments. Students must deal with the limitations of national resources as they decide how much of their limited money to spend.Climate Change in Copenhagen, 2009 covers the negotiations at the Conference of Parties 15 meeting that was attended by a large number of national leaders.

Environmental Science and Technology

A natural resource is a naturally occurring material or organism that supports life, provides fuel, or is used in other ways by humans. We cannot make natural resources, but we certainly use them in many ways. Some natural resources are essential for living, such as oxygen and water; other natural resources are used in manufacturing other items, such as iron into automobiles. The wise use of resources is important. For example, cropland, grassland, woodland, and other land types must be used properly. Keeping our land productive is a major challenge. Productive land ensures healthy people and a strong nation.
