Write a two page (500 words minimum) essay on the following topic:

Consider the ultimate impact the environment has had on the economy. Do short-term drawbacks justify long-term goals? If there is a conflict, which should come first, the economy or the environment? For example, with the increasing cost of oil should we tap into the oil supply at the Artic National Wildlife Refuge in Northeast Alaska? Review the pros and cons and then sum up the assignment with how you would vote on drilling for oil in our national park systems. Please include answers to all the above questions in your assignment response.

Make sure that your assignment follows the APA guidelines. You will need a title page, an introduction, body, conclusion as well as at least threesupporting references and with proper in-text citations. For additional assignment requirements check out the grading rubric which can be found in your syllabus.
