An environmental issue is referenced up to 20 times in every newspaper in the United States. These articles may be about obvious environmental issues such as water quality or ecological issues such as changing weather patterns. The scope of environmental science can also be social, political, and technological. It is impossible to write an article that does not possess bias. As a surveyor of environmental publications and information, it is your job to read critically and recognize bias.
