Environmental Justice Unit "Exam"
You've studied environmental justice, you've identified benefits and burdens in Lake County using the EPA's EJ Screening tool, and you've analyzed photographs from the EPA's DOCUMERICA project. Now, it's your turn to capture an original photograph that assesses the impact of human activities on current and future generations.
We are looking for photos that depict the environmental benefits or burdens of our time that can be displayed in a virtual gallery on the PSL web page. Mr. Jeffrey Goodman, a nationally recognized photographer and PHS Government teacher, will judge entries to determine which images to include in our virtual gallery. Click here for past winners. The top 10 photos will also be displayed on the walls in the PSL classroom. Grab your camera or phone, it's easy!
