Dead Mosquitoes vs. Dead Children WebQuest

Silent Spring, a book by Rachel Carson, started the public awareness of the environmental problems with toxic chemicals such as DDT.  There is a lot of controversy about DDT because science has proved DDT to be a very useful chemical as well as being toxic and detrimental to the environment.  Currently, DDT is up for a debate once again.   Forty years after the U.S. banned DDT, the United Nations must decide if a worldwide ban should be implemented.  You need to determine with a team of three other professionals whether or not DDT should be banned worldwide.  You will present your findings to the United Nations so be careful and concise.  Your decision will be felt worldwide!  Good luck!
