Mission 2007

v     Find the most environmentally sound way of drilling oil in the Artic National Wildlife Refuge.

v     Research the social, economical, political, and environmental impacts of drilling and not drilling ANWR.

v     Assess the cost benefits of exploration and decide as Mission 2007 if it is worth drilling.

-------------------------

In order to tackle such an in depth question that pertains to current events, we must cut it up into parts so that it is more manageable.  Mission 2007 is therefore divided up into 10 teams.  Each team is then divided further.
