I'm not sure I'd agree with the title. Steve Bennett (above) mentions the Envirothon. This is an excellent program and is available in every state. Agriculture practices, rainforest destruction, soil and water pollution, farming practices, wetlands destruction... I could name more... are all major environmental issues that must be included in any introduction to issues.

The Envirothon is a hands-on natural sciences learning program, There are five topics: soils/land use, aquatic ecology, wildlife, forestry and current environmental issues. The National Program also has an oral presentation for the students to do. If you check out our web site, you will get an opportunity to see our curriculum for HS and MS for our state program. NC Is hosting the national Envirothon in 2009 in western NC. I am currently trying to raise the funding to put on this national program. Do you have any suggestions or leads?? The national web site is envirothon.org. Steve Bennett I am the state Coordinator for the NC Envirothon Program.
