 * ===Performance Task Overview=== ||

As an environmentalist major at Blue Barracudas University, you have decided to do an internship based on informing people about the effects and hazards of global warming. With only a semester to complete the internship, you have decided to start small and promote global warming awareness to the local communities. Through your research, you have learned that a little more then seventy-seven percent of the community recycles, and sixty-five percent attends town meetings. Thanks to this information, you have developed a week long event called “Stay Clean, Keep it Green.” Throughout this week you will promote global warming awareness by having a poster contest in the local schools, developing flyers and signs to hang around town, writing a “green” column for the local newspaper, giving a presentation and recommending an implementation plan during the town meeting, and toping off the week by having a seven cent Friday at the school which will be decorated with facts and suggestions about global warming. If “Stay Clean, Keep it Green” is successful, there is a good possibility of a prestigious job waiting at the door steps which might include taking the program to a much larger scale! ||
