Essay Prompt

Your written advertisement should persuade the public to support programs that are designed to slow, halt, and eventually reverse U.S. population growth. The key issue to be addressed in your advertisement copy is U.S. population size and growth. You may also address the negative consequences of U.S. overpopulation, such as: environmental damage, natural resource depletion, deterioration of infrastructure, economic strain, etc.
Part Two: Research and suggest two publications where you believe your advertisement could be placed. Include one to three sentences explaining why you feel that your advertisement copy is appropriate for that magazine/newspaper.?
