Chapter 1: Introducing Government in America The theme of this book is that politics and government matter. Even though government and politics impact our lives everyday, many Americans ? especially young people are apathetic. See Figure 1.1 The Political Disengagement of College Students Today (p.4) For instance, in 1966, 60% of college students indicated that keeping up to date with political affairs is a very important life goal. By 2001, the percentage decreased to 31%. See Figure 1.2 Age and Political Knowledge: 1964 and 2000 Compared (p.5) In terms of political knowledge, in 2000, the elderly were 49% more informed versus those between the ages of 18-24, who were only 35% informed. See Figure 1.3 Presidential Election Turnout Rates by Age, 1972-2000 (p.6)

Toxins Pollutant Name Location Sources Environment Impact Human health effects Prevention Mercury Found very rarely in Earth?s crust Cinnabar, corderoite, livingstone, otherminerals and rarely in its pure form. It builds up in organisms and up along the food chain Methyl mercury is absorbed by organisms and ends up harming them, ruins the ecosystem. Laws are set up to decrease or completely avoid the use of mercury by EPA (environmental protection begins) Aluminum Found in Earth?s crust. Also near mining areas of Jamaica, Indonesia, and Russia. Made through electrolysis from Al2O2 the aluminum metal comes from aluminum Able to damage roots of trees that are located in ground water, high aluminum concentrates in acidified lakes where fish are present.
