The
council has decided that the best way to make a determination is to form
committees to examine possible courses of actions. You have been chosen to
join one of the following committees to make a presentation to the city
council at its next meeting.
Committee
#1: Your committee is made up of one city council member, a local science
teacher who has served on committees for the state environmental agency, and
a local citizen who does not want his taxes raised.
Committee
#2: Your committee is made of the president of the local environmental
action group, the head of the local Department of Public Works, and a
concerned citizen.
Committee
#3: Your committee is made up of the president of the one of the companies
who would like to bid for the contract to pick up the recyclable material, a
member of the local environmental action group, and a member of the Mayor's
economic committee.
Your task in this
Recycling web quest is to join one of the committees and chose a role within
that committee. Remember that you will be working with others who may not
share your viewpoints. You must work together to come up with a plan of
action for the town council as they must decide whether to implement this
project. You will be making a presentation at the next city council meeting
that represents the viewpoint of your group as a whole.
