Include the following:
For people: When and where did they live?
What were their most notable accomplishments (books,
organizations, activism, laws, etc.?)
What impact did they have on the Environmental Movement?
What lasting significant change resulted?
For events: When and where did the event happen? Why did it
occur? What impact did it have on the environment?
How were people’s attitudes changed as a result?
A significant portion of your grade is determined by the
