  2. An Environmental Health Diagnosis By Patrick Murphy 3rd Grade Tamarac Elementary

  3. Abstract This is a report entails a look at New York’s Oswego County from an environmental perspective. The researcher gathered data and information from various sources and publications to draw conclusions about the county. The report focuses on key environmental issues and the major stakeholders in the county. After conclusions, the researcher made recommendations based on the findings to help better bring the county to a more sustainable future.

  4. Maps Oswego In Relation to New York Oswego’s Watershed

  5. Methods The rational surrounding this project follows that by assessing the county as a unit, better assessments and connections can be made than if the scope was larger or smaller. In addition, most administrative environmental law happens on the county level. The methods surrounding this evaluation required intensive research on online databases from government, third party, and county organizations.

  7. About Eco Ed and Mentors Eco Ed Mentors Jordan Yamada is an undergraduate here are RPI and his major is electrical engineering. Originally from Honolulu, Hawaii and a Boy Scout he also cares a lot about the environment. One fun fact is that currently he is working on a hybrid racecar with RPI’s Formula Hybrid team. Rensselaer’s EcoEd Research Group involves faculty and students in the development of delivery of creative and interdisciplinary environmental lessons and education to k-12 students. In the Secondary School Research Program, young students are assigned an RPI student mentor, and with them move through a nine-week exploration of a research topic, culminating in a substantial written report and formal oral presentation.

  9. Background Briefly, an overview of Oswego County’s environment consists of mostly forests and marshlands. It is also adjacent to the great lakes, which creates an ecological relationship between the county and the adjacent lake.

  10. Watershed Health

  11. Air Quality

  12. Energy Mix

  13. Recommendations In response to the challenges of habitat, I recommend that everyone have free solar panels to power their things. In addition, I would shut down any factories so there is not a lot of air pollution to make no more global warming and make the world a better place. In response to the industrial problems that occur in Oswego caused when people cut down trees and green house greenhouse effect could happen. Then less CO2 could be turned into clean air. A solution to this is when you cut down a tree plan another tree, this a way solve after cutting down trees. One solution to water and soil issues like acid rain is for people to shut down factories so the rain does not mix with polluted air. Then there would not be as much acid rain. This is a way to stop acid rain. In response to the challenges to energy, one solution is to shut down factories but not all, reducing energy needs. Another way to solve the second challenge is to stop using polluting energy and use clean energy. A way to fix the third challenge is to, try to use more renewable energy. The response is to waste problems, a use a waste-to-energy facility could be a solution. A waste-to-energy facility can reduce garbage in to ash, and by that process produce energy.
