Whenever you use a source in your answer, including all quotes, you must provide an APA-style internal citation and a full APA-style reference in the References page exercise, except for personal communications. HINT: Most of these exercises require sources unless specified otherwise.

 **All newspaper articles must be dated within the past six months.**

Only attach an article if required by exercise directions. Whenever you attach an article, it must be directly behind the exercise in which it appears, and it must be clearly labeled with the exercise number and letter to which it pertains. Attach only the first page of the article unless otherwise stated.

 **Do not copy electronic articles into Word documents. Print them directly from the website or other source.**

Unless otherwise stated, begin your answer directly after the colon.

 **Do not double space anywhere in your module, except for your reference page.**

Anytime you take information from somewhere you must internally cite sources, even if the exercise says no sources needed. If you fail to do so, you will receive a 0 on your module.

 **NEVER use international policies or sources in any module.**

HINT: For each full exercise, start at the top of each page.

 **HINT: Don’t use fancy internal citations. Follow this example at all times even though APA permits others formats. (Coplin, 2007, p. 4)**

Environmental As American society progresses into the twenty first century, the natural environment might not. This would be due to over consumption of natural resources like oil and gasoline, which power our economy. Federal legislation has realized that crude oil and other fossil fuels are finite. John Rudolff of the NY TImes wrote that " <span style="color: #333333; display: block; font-family: georgia,'times new roman',times,serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;">nce peak oil begins in earnest, economies around the globe — including Germany’s — will probably struggle with price shocks as a result of higher transportation costs, and “shortages of vital goods could arise.” Peak oil would obviously cripple our economy, and disrupt every day life. <span style="display: block; line-height: 12pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;"> Exercise 1.2: Identifying Public Policy
