3 op-eds I enjoyed

http://www.foxnews.com/scitech/2010/03/23/eat-meat-reduce-global-warming/
I enjoyed reading this article because it talked about how eating meat will not affect the environment or global warming. An individual scientist presented his idea and evidence. I did not like at the end of the article how global warming was suggested to not have been happening for the last 15 years. Evidence suggests otherwise and the UK scientists emails that leaked out are open for interpretation on what was released to the general public.

Another opinion based article supported with evidence is how a survey for done and evidently 79% of Americans are sure that we are all going to suffer the same fate as the USSR and have our government and economy collaspe. I enjoyed this small little article that discussed the opinon polls or Americans. They are always so accurate and such a detailed way to interpret data.

I like this article about the recent healthcare reform because it talks about all te negative traits that will follow because of this healthcare law. It tells about debt and collaspe of the economy. The reason I like this article is because it is sometimes fun to read the exact opposite of what you believe in.

I also have several student newspapers that contain lots of information of sustainability on campus as well. The umt.edu website has lots of links to the local environmental polices and procedures of the university. I have an extremely large amount of data and I just need to sift through them all and figure out what is important.

Research paper topic

I would like to write my paper on the impacts that sustainability has on campus and the efforts that it does to reach its goal. I would report the positive and negative aspects of what the campus is doing to promote sustainability. I would get information from school internet sites as well as campus newspapers. I think I would use information from the internet to give data about certain sustainability issues that are important in todays society. I might even interview someone to get more information on the local procedures on campus. I will write in a professional manner and try to report just the facts and try not to be onesided. I will not emulate FOX NEWS.
