Since I am unable to give the video to you because it is from the school and you have to have a login for it I will give you details.  It is about sparksville being over run by prairie dogs and the community thinks they are a threat and dangerous to everyone and wants to try to find a way to contain them that will not effect the environment in a harmful way..

3 questions are in the video that are suppose to be answered with a word count of at least 100 words or more. This is separate from the powerpoint. These 3 questions are opinion based only!!!! here they are 

1. Identify 3 possible, environmentally, sustainable courses of action that you could recommend for the prairie dog problem?
