What would be the hardest part to explain?

Your journal entry must be at least 200 words. No references or citations are necessary.

UNIT 8 FINAL PROJECT

• Instructions
  • What everyday activity or product have you chosen to present? Why did you choose this activity or product? Why is it important?

  • Report data and statistics, with references, on how this activity/product effects the environment.
  • What can people do to decrease the activity/product’s impact on the environment?

Human Impact on Climate Change PowerPoint

After learning about several ways in which our everyday actions impact climate change, choose one action to conduct more research on and create a PowerPoint presentation to tell us more! Use the unit material and reliable online resources to gather more information.

There are several ideas with information throughout the unit but there is even more information out in the world! Think about what you do every day, and how the activity uses energy or natural resources. Think about a product you buy—how it was made, what natural resources were used to make it? You can also do a quick google search of “everyday activities that effect the environment” and start reading some articles for more ideas.

Remember to use reliable sources from the internet. There is a lot of misinformation out there and finding reliable information can be difficult. The best sources of reference material for your presentation are scientific journals found in the CSU library databases. You can also find reliable statistics at organization websites listed in the Unit under “Combat Climate Change.”

Your presentation must include:

Be sure to follow the formatting and guidelines provided below:

Programming

Considering that some people seem willing to post just about any personal data on the Internet, how reasonable do you feel that the HIPAA rules for database security and the penalties for violations are? Please write 500 words showing your understanding of HIPAA compliance rules. Consider specific aspects of the rules and exceptions including safe harbor.

Cite your sources in-line and at the end. Provide a URL for your citations. Write in essay format not in bulleted, numbered or other list format.Use the five paragraph format.
