The Enviro Facts attempt to describe environmental issues in a simple way. The fact sheets are short, and you will probably want to get more information on a particular topic. Some may be able to send you information brochures, or make specialist scientists available for a brief discussion, others may refer you to a local branch for assistance. Whereas many organisations are geared for supporting the public on environmental issues, some are not, so persevere until you find what, or who, you need. Topics for debate.
Many environmental issues are contentious, and people frequently disagree with one another.
Sometimes the best way to come to grips with an environmental issue is through discussion and debate, and the Enviro Facts aim to support this. These provide a framework within which the issues raised in other fact sheets can be better understood. Enviro Facts can form the basis for articles in newsletters, magazines and newspapers, or for a speech you need to present. Parents, teachers and youth group leaders read fact sheets to younger children, explaining tricky concepts or words as they go along. They can be used as part of a comprehension exercise.
