I am going to have my students do projects relating to environmental issues 
such as the effects of acid rain on certain plants and animals, global 
warming, hazardous waste and the impacts of destroying the rainforest.  What 
are some recent resources and computer programs which can be used by the 
students to help them with their projects.  Who are some presenters that would 
be interested in talking to some high school students about environmental 
issues?

I think you should try contacting your fellow teachers through the "teacher 
talk" feature of Newton.  I think you might find some willing speakers by 
contacting local environmental groups (for their point of view) and the 
speaker's reference bureau at your local colleges and universities (for an 
academic point of view) and possibly a trade association for electric 
utilities, or the Division of Educational Programs at Argonne National 
Laboratory for industry/government points of view.
