As a prelude to your final assignment, this discussion forum invites you to reflect on real-world environmental challenges in your own surroundings and explore how bioremediation might offer sustainable solutions.
The goal of this activity is to:
- 
Help you connect course concepts with real-life environmental problems 
- 
Encourage critical thinking around the use of microorganisms in pollution management 
- 
Prepare you to craft your final Bioremediation Strategy Proposal with greater clarity and confidence 
Please respond to the following guiding questions based on a local environmental issue you have observed or read about in your town, city, or region. Your answers don’t have to be technically perfect — focus on reasoning, creativity, and applying what you've learned so far.
- 
If you had to choose one microorganism to clean up your identified local environmental issue, what would it be and why? 
 (You don’t need to get it exactly right — but based on your understanding, what makes you lean toward bacteria, fungi, or algae for your specific case?)
- 
Do you think nature alone can solve your chosen environmental problem, or does it require human intervention? 
 (Should we enhance existing natural processes like composting or wetlands, or introduce lab-prepared microbes tailored for the job? Why?)
**To complete this activity, please respond to these questions by clicking on add a discussion topic and reflect on atleast two others replies.
