Module 04: Hazardous Waste

Module 4 introduces the challenge of identifying, managing, and remediating garbage and hazardous waste. Students explore real case studies that have led to changes in local and global policy. Students then examine their field site to determine the extent of the issue locally, gather data, and create an action plan for addressing the cause of any found issues.
