Hi again! 👋
Ask me a question to get started!
Speaker
John Smith,
president of the
local recycling club
Adrianna Wilkins,
chairperson of the
small business
association
DeMarcus Jones,
volunteer with the
local wildlife
preservation club
Sophia Andrews,
member of the local
student travel club
(Read about
Sophia's ideas on p.
6-7 of the lesson.)
Possible Solution
renovate an existing
mall using recycled
materials
build a smaller
shopping center
refuse to grant a
permit for
construction or
renovation of a mall
build the mall on an
area already cleared
but on the other
side of town
"Cons" for this Solution
Suitable recycled materials
can be hard to find and might
be expensive. The shopping
mall developer might decide
not to do the project in the
town because of added
difficulty in getting approved
materials.
A smaller shopping center
would still require paving
over some wetlands and
would provide fewer jobs
than a bigger mall.
This solution would not
provide any new jobs or
shopping options.
A wildlife corridor bridge
would need to be built to
avoid splitting the wolf
habitat.
"Pros" for this Solution
This would reduce the
amount of new
materials needed and
would prevent
destruction of
wetlands to build the
new mall.
A smaller shopping
center would cost less
and would not
compete as much with
local small businesses.
There would be no
initial cost and no new
damage to wetlands.
Fewer trees would
need to be cut down,
and the town would
still get new jobs and
new shopping options.
