  Emergent Questions What will help people get involved? What needs to happen to make people see the severity of our environmental state? What is stopping the government from enforcing strict laws on trash disposal (i.e. recycling, separating trash from recyclable materials). How is this problem viewed: a personal problem (I can change and improve the world) or a societal problem (We all have to change to improve the world) or both? What keeps people from changing? Why is taking care of the environment important? How many people need to change to make an impact? Does change need to occur in a top down model (government to people)? What will engage people to start the changes without government enforcement?
