Topic Write a 1750-word (minimum), double-spaced essay in which you use key ideas from Hardin's essay to discuss and suggest a solution (or solutions) to the one of the following current environmental problems.

• a. Topsoil loss due to agricultural practices.
• b. Water quality issues, especially from organic chemicals including fertilizers, pharmaceuticals, and personal health care products. 
• c. Depletion of commercial salmon fisheries in the North Pacific. 
• d. The excessive use of nitrogen based fertilizers (and some commercial products), especially in agricultural areas. You should examine the use of nitrogen-containing products within specific sectors of society, and trace their contamination and effects in groundwater, surface waters, and the oceans. 
• e. Deforestation in forests throughout the world, especially in tropical rain forests. The depletion of forest cover, exceeding 90 percent in some critical areas, presents both small and large-scale problems in water management, atmospheric pollution, loss of biodiversity, and soil nutrient depletion. You should evaluate the scope of the problem, and the impact of the individual farmer or rancher in Third World countries in particular.
