What are some current environmental or public health issues that I can write a research paper on??
I need something that is in the news and it can NOT be red tide, sinkholes, or hurricanes. Please help me with some topics, some good places to also do the research, and any additional info would be great. This is for my college environmental science class.
Another person asked a similar question a few weeks ago. This was my answer to their question about a couple of environmental topics that should be easy to research on the internet or in your college library and could be the subject of a research paper:
1. Overfishing the oceans.
2. “Green space” in urban environments to prevent the fragmentation of wildlife habitat.
3. Overpumping of groundwater aquifers.
4. Protection of natural springs from water bottling companies.
5. Desalination technology used for water supply.
6. Mandatory recycling of waste.
7. Gasoline alternatives (ethanol, hydrogen fuel cell, electric car, etc.).
8. Genetic engineering of plants and animals.
9. Feral cat colonies.
10. Environmental justice movement in minority communities to prevent governments from locating polluters in their neighborhoods.
11. The success (or lack thereof) of reclamation or restoration techniques for wetlands destroyed by mining (coal, phosphate, etc.).
