When I heard we get to do research for this next project, my mind went in a million directions, but all my ideas were tied to my major: environmental science. I have narrowed down my options to the environmental health impact from farm and agricultural runoff. This topic is interesting to me because not enough is being done to regulate the chemicals, herbicides, pesticides, and waste products that are used and produced on farms. These products seep into the ground or go into nearby water supplies. This harmful pollution should be more strictly regulated by government agencies so we can live in a cleaner (and safer!!) environment.

I like how relevant this is (and nice use of visuals!) on a global scale and on the scale of the local area–Newark’s water supply, for instance, has been identified as dangerously contaminated by agricultural runoff, and since it flows into the Atlantic, this affects human health and things like seafood production. A professor in the English department, McKay Jenkins, is actually an expert in writing about these sorts of things–his work might be a good research source, or you could even email him if you wanted.
