Project: Threats to the environment (intermediate onwards)

What do you know about the different ways in which the environment is threatened each day? Which of these threats is the worst and why?

The objective of this project will be to gather information in connection with the environment and the numerous threats to it that exist in today´s world. The student can then choose to focus on one of those threats, refer to a specific case in a country/region/town or take a more general view of the subject. The final report can be done in a written form or as a power point presentation.

In your report you must at least refer to one video, TV programme or documentary.
