Pick an environmental problem that affects the area where you live and decide where in the policy life cycle (Figure 24.2) the problem could best be placed. Apply the cycle to this problem and describe how the problem has progressed (or will likely progress) through each stage. If your problem has not progressed to the policy adjustment stage, explain how you think the policy dealing with the problem could be adjusted, if at all.
