Research the environmental history of your home town/city (or the town/city you live in currently). What industries were influential in your area? What natural disasters have occurred in the last hundred or more years? What political or economic decisions were made in your town’s past that may have influenced the environmental history in your area. And so on. Use some of the texts listed in the Environmental History Bibliography as guides or models to your approach. To supplement your research, you may want to incorporate images and artifacts: old maps, zoning laws, photographs of settlers, etc.
