Sustainable Communities Project 
In your groups create a project that can be implemented in your community which will help reduce our ecological footprint. Incorporate ways in how to establish a more environmentally sustainable community. Money is no object! You will have 35 minutes to work on this project in class and then will be presenting to your peers. Make sure to include a visual of your project for your presentation (ex: poster, PowerPoint, video, comic strip, etc). You will be graded as a team and as individuals.
