Publication Series on Iowa's Environment

Iowa Environmental Issues Series

 

In order to make wise decisions, people need a basic understanding of the factors involved in current environmental issues. They need to understand how their lifestyle is tied to these issues and how changes in lifestyle can impact the environment.

 

The Iowa Association of Naturalists has created this series of booklets to offer a basic understandable overview of Iowa environmental issues. These booklets will assist educators in teaching students about topics that affect the Iowa environment.

 

The seven booklets in this series are:

 

• Iowa Habitat Loss and Disappearing Wildlife (27-page .pdf)
• Iowa Air Pollution (27-page .pdf)
• Iowa Water Pollution (27-page .pdf)
• Iowa Agricultural Practices and the Environment (27-page .pdf)
• People, Communities, and Their Iowa Environment (27-page .pdf)
• Energy In Iowa (27-page .pdf)
• Iowa Waste Management (27-page .pdf)
• These publications are also available at the Polk County Extension office. There is a cost to these publications.
