The program kit consists of a teacher's guide which providesan overview; separate teacher's guides for social studies, science,and industrial arts;a student booklet of readings; anda wall chart. Each of the componentscan be used independently of the other. Theprogram is intended to introduce students to the problem of solidwaste disposal and to involve them in doing something about it.Teaching strategies involve the student in community studies, research, andclassroom discussion. The teacher's guide and the student bookare available in this document. For other components of the programsee the related documents listed in the descriptive note. Theteacher's guide discusses the needfor teaching about solid waste disposal andthe approach to content used in the program. It also describes thesix components of theprogram, the unit topics, and specific objectivesand presents informationon environmental careers and industrialresources. The student booklet contains a fictional story followedby a section on basic environmental principles, a list oforganizations that make available free and low-cost materials, anda glossary of terms.

Wisnioski, Chair Mark V. Barrow, Jr. Gary L. Downey Saul Halfon Ann Johnson August 2, 2013 Blacksburg, VA Keywords: air pollution, control technology, environmental regulation, regulatory engineering, catalytic converter, scrubber, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Copyright Jongmin Lee Engineering the Environment: Regulatory Engineering at the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, 1970-1980 Jongmin Lee ABSTRACT My dissertation addresses how engineers, scientists, and bureaucrats generated knowledge about pollution, crafted an institution for environmental protection, and constructed a collective identity for themselves. I show an important shift in regulators’ priorities, from stringent health-based standards to flexible technology-based ones through the development of end-of-pipeline pollution control devices, which contributed to the emergence of economic incentives and voluntary management programs. Drawing on findings from archival documents, published sources, and oral history interviews, I examine the first decade of the EPA amid constant organizational changes that shaped the technological and managerial character of environmental policy in the United States. Exploring the EPA’s internal research and development processes and their relationship with scientific and engineering communities sheds light on how the new fields of environmental engineering and policy were co-produced in the 1970s. I argue that two competing approaches for environmental management, a community health approach and a control technology approach, developed from EPA’s responses to bureaucratic, geographical, and epistemic challenges.

  • State Caucus Representative Reports
    Delaware Caucus Report Steering Committee Meeting April 25, 2013 Erie, PA Winterthur Library Winterthur Museum, Garden & Library is pleased to announce that it has acquired the John and Carolyn Grossman Collection, an assemblage of 250,000 items that documents chromolithography and all it represented visually from approximately 1820 to 1920. The collection portrays the customs, attitudes, and ideals of Victorian and Edwardian life and is one of the most comprehensive archives of period graphic ephemera ever to have been assembled. The finest examples are represented, including calendars, greeting cards, trade cards, product labels, paper dolls, tickets, postcards, scrapbooks, sheet music, etc. Among the treasures of the collection are the first commercially produced Christmas card (England, 1843), its accompanying printer’s proof, and an early American Christmas card from around 1850. As well, the Grossmans saved the archive of the George Schlegel Lithographic Company, a 19th and 20th century New York City business that specialized in cigar box label printing. Having the Grossman Collection at Winterthur solidifies the library’s status as a center for advanced research in the visual arts. Lewes Historical Society The Lewes Historical Society has recently acquired the papers of Citizens' Coalition, Inc., a non-profit organization that reviewed and kept track of land use decisions in Sussex County, Del., from the late 1990s through last year when it dissolved. As land use and development are critical issues in southern Delaware at the turn of the 21st century, this collection will yield insight into local sentiment and politics regarding decision making and changing demographics in the region.

  • The History of the American Environmental Policy Reflects How
    Troubled Waters: The Confluence of Local, State and Federal Environmental Policy at the Headwaters of the Dolores River, from the Height of the Cold War to 2004 By Rebecca Levy Major: U.S. History Fort Lewis College Mentor: Michael Fry, PhD ABSTRACT Guaranteeing a sufficient supply of clean water is one of the biggest environmental problems facing the United States. This problem is dramatically exacerbated in the arid Southwest, where the limited water resources are shrinking, as demand for clean water is increasing. Compounding the problem is the environmental contamination from historic mining activities. Often located near headwaters, abandoned hard rock mines and mine waste piles deposit heavy metals into the streams and rivers of many of the western watersheds. Pollution from historic mining activities further degrades the quality of this limited resource, making the protection of clean water essential to the viability of life in the west. The town of Rico, Colorado is situated at the headwaters of the Dolores River, a tributary to the Colorado, and is surrounded by abandoned silver, lead, zinc, gold and copper mines. Rico‟s mines have been contaminating the Dolores River for over a century. Despite its isolated location, the environmental history of the Rico region illustrates how actions undertaken locally are determined by state and federal policy decisions. These policy decisions are often influenced by national public sentiment and economic trends, rather than empirical science, remedial objectives or local needs. This study is part of a growing body of environmental history that focuses on the evolution of environmental policy. By incorporating previously unused official accounts from town records, including board minutes and letters, this study contributes to future research on the history of Rico, and on environmental history in general.

Cover Photo Credit: Jacob Ammentorp Lund/iStock/Thinkstock About this Workbook The Sustainability: Designing Interdisciplinary Opportunities for Teaching workbook is not just about sustainability, in and of itself. It is just a part of a larger sustainability process that: 1) illustrates how sustainability correlates with current courses; 2) provides interdisciplinary opportunities for teaching; 3) equips students with a basic understanding of sustainability in the world and the workforce; and 4) improves students’ critical thinking skills. Sustainability has been a part of higher education for many years in the form of energy and water efficiencies, waste minimization and recycling initiatives. More recently, the inclusion of green building programs such as LEED have broadened the scope of campus sustainability efforts. This workbook was written and designed to serve as a link between col- lege courses and a broad range of sustainability issues. The Sustainability: Designing Interdisciplinary Opportunities for Teaching workbook is the capstone project for Lori De La Cruz, toward the award of an MA in Sustainability and Development from Southern Methodist Uni- versity in Dallas, Texas. Referenced Web Articles Throughout the workbook, links are provided to more information and current events relating to the topic being discussed.

This report facilitates that task. It focuses on the growing price of Industrial pollution and the way society pays -- either by paying to prevent pollution, or paying its price in contaminated fields and waters, corrosion, and increased human suffering -- and on strategies government and industry can use to control polluting discharges (these strategies are well documented with tables). Also described are the respective cost-benefits of industrial freedom to pollute, and mandatory pollution control. Information sources and a complete glossary are included in the summary. 10.
