Post ideas on your wiki area by Wednesday October 23rd

1 PM lunch: Wednesday October 23rd: team meeting in tech lab to choose a problem

Please notify any of your group members if you are having difficulty finding information. Not only can you consult the Internet, but you can also refer to sources including books. In addition, it is possible that you contact someone at City Hall to discuss any possible climate issues in Montreal.

Here is a link to a website on Blue-green Algae: http://74.125.45.104/search?q=cache:5Pvyc1rnt1YJ:www.health.state.ny.us/environmental/water/drinking/bluegreenalgae.pdf+blue+green+algae&hl=en&ct=clnk&cd=3&client=safari

Here is another link for Blue-Green Algae: http://dnr.wi.gov/lakes/bluegreenalgae/

Here is a good site for Blue-Green Algae (even though it's in French):

Now that we have presented some possible topics, we should find the cause of each climate problem in Montreal. For example, in Montreal, we have:

Blizzards Ice Storms Acid Rain Flooding Underground Pollution Abnormal Seasons

In that case, as a group, we have select a topic that is applicable on the worldwide scale as well as the regional scale. We should select something original that will give us an edge and will distinguish us from other teams.

I think that we should pick the blue green algae. This is a problem that is world wide. We leaned a little about it in class. A solution could be to plant trees next to the rivers or lakes that there is too much algae.

I, (Sabrina Nolan) agree with this. I think we should have a vote.
