The Environment

This Bill of Rights in Action examines issues related to the environment. When we think of environmental problems, we typically think of modern industrial societies. But as the first article shows, humans have been experiencing environmental problems since the agricultural revolution. The second article explores a current environmental issue, global warming. The final article looks at the Native American Southwest and the environmental problems of the Anasazi people.
