20-to-25-minute presentation. Each person must speak a minimum of 5 minutes and a max of 7 minutes
at 15 seconds. Presentation will be split up into 4 sections for each of the team members. Research will
be done independently with collective information pooling and sharing during meetings and via email.
In the event of losing a team member, we will then split up the least environmentally informative section
amongst the team members and shorten the time accordingly down to about 16-20 minutes.
Remember - This a case study, we report on the facts of the situation and their effect with an emphasis
on the environmental effects. Nothing more, nothing less.
