Town Council
Town Council
The environmental debates cover a wide range of topics from water issues to land development. They are set up in the form of a town council where the students take on roles of those involved either being for or against the proposed idea. Each person will present their side to the town council and then the council will make an executive decision either to pass or reject the idea.
