Environmental Decision Making: Problems and Challenges for Middle School Students

Lessons encourage students to analyze information on products made of paper, glass, aluminum, and plastic and then evaluate the environmental impact of those products. The activities, based on actual environmental issues, help students develop decision-making skills based on reasoning and logic.
