Who Polluted the Potomac?
This lesson is an interactive story modeling how, as populations increase and land use changes, a river can be transformed from a valuable natural resource into a polluted waterway that is still necessary for humans and organisms alike. This graphic example demonstrates that we are all part of the problem - and that we must be part of the solution as well.
