[Current News] [Background]
Alaskan
Environmentalists
“The eyes of the future are
looking back at us and they are praying for us to see beyond our own time.
They are kneeling with clasped hands that we might act with restraint,
leaving room for the life that is destined to come.” -Terry

...One of several freshmen learning
communities at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology , Terrascope
is designed to enhance its participants' abilities to deal with
complex and multi-dimensional problems. This year, the students
in the program are investigating drilling in the Arctic Wildlife
National Reserve (ANWR) and its consequences on the environment
and Alaskan prosperity. One of the important points to be considered
in this case study is the sociological implications of drilling
on the people of Alaska. As a student, my job is to collect and
analyze research about how Alaskan environmentalists would respond
to such activities. My personal goal is to outline and summarize
the specific reasons these Alaskans do not support oil drilling
in ANWR. |
