Prompt In this lesson, we discussed the environmental challenges that the United States and Canada face. Both countries are seeking solutions to issues such as pollution and resource conservation. As a government leader, which issue would you focus on most? Choose one of the issues discussed in this lesson, and write a short paragraph explaining the steps you would take to solve that issue in the United States.

As a government leader I would focus on deforesting because that is a major environmental factor contributing to global warming and other world problems. Along with global warming, it would cause our winters to be extremely cold which could possibly result in glaciation. Having glaciation and extreme heat with the global warming could throw off the balance of the Continental Divide because if we end up having glaciers that could melt in the summers extreme heat, all of that fresh water would run down the basins into the ocean throwing off the PH balance and killing animals that are necessary in the food chain. I would first take steps to stop deforesting and the take action to replant the forests. As a result of this more trees will produce oxygen that can help regulate the oxygen in the air compared to the CO2. The next thing I would focus on is pollution from cars.
