When I was assigned this Environmental I-search project, I was not too thrilled about the idea of me having to research subjects that have to do with nature. My first challenge was finding a topic, which I found interesting, and intrigued me into looking further into this topic. My first choice was going to be researching the Casa Grande Fish Hatchery. I had chosen this topic because I have many friends that work in the hatchery, but never really knew why the hatchery was there, or what was done inside. But I encountered a problem when I discovered that I would not be able to interview any one over break. After thinking about another topic I could base my project on, I began to think about the green party.During the last presidential election, it seemed a lot of people were looking towards the option of voting for Ralph Nader, the leader of the green party, to be our next president. But it seems no one really knows what the green party represents, and what they believe. Before I started this project, I knew very little about the green partys beliefs, and practices. All I knew is that they were into conserving nature, and thought of them as the hippie type. Basically I thought that they were interested in plants and greenery, and that their best interest was just to keep the earth clean in a matter that we can live on it for many years to come. There was a lot I wanted to learn about the green party, but I didnt know where to start. I didnt know what I wanted to know, all I knew is that I wanted to know more about this somewhat hidden party. I began to write down some questions, and comparing what I know about the other parties, and seeing if I could maybe clear up some of the doubts I had pertaining to the same issue, but with the green party. The main question, which I was trying to uncover was what exactly does the green party stand for?As I began the process of finding information about this topic, I ran into my first conflict...
