Use this class to work on your second draft (or first if you haven't gotten any peer feedback yet). The second draft will be due by the end of class on Thursday.
Pick an externality you're interested from the book, videos, or class discussions so far and attempt to find data and research that has calculated the actual costs/benefits. Use sources that you can justify such as the World Bank, UN, WHO, CDC, etc and try to understand how they actually calculate the externalities and the specific solutions best recommended. Examples include:
Air pollution
Climate change
Factory farming
Smoking
Traffic
Public education
Vaccinations
Tree farms
Large construction projects like airports or stadiums
