Policy Memo
This course was designed to help you become a better writer and clearer thinker, particularly when it comes to natural resource policy. Your first essay assignment is to choose a policy issue that interested me, in this initial memo, I was required to take a stand on an environmental issue, identify a policy that directly pertains to this issue, the actors involved in the policy, and the institutions and organizations that govern the policy area. Below is the first policy memo I wrote for this class talking about the loss of biodiversity because of the border wall being built on the United States-Mexico border.

Policy Issue Podcast
After the class had each turned in a memo we were tasked to get into groups under one issue, my group decided to continue on with the topic from my policy memo on the topic of the U.S.-Mexico border wall. End goal was to convince your classmates that your environmental issue matters and that you have identified a specific policy that can help address this issue. We chose a podcast format and below you can listen to the final product.
