Learn About Environmental Issues Affecting the Country You're Researching

Start the research process by learning more about the environmental issues that are affecting the country you're researching.  Google is a great place to start.  Look for information such as:

  • What specific environmental issue(s) are there (e.g., air pollution, deforestation)?
  • Are there specific locations in the country that are affected?
  • Are certain populations affected?
  • What are some causes/solutions?

You will use the information you learn from your Google search to search for magazine and newspaper articles that address those topics.
