A brief and basic start
  Susan German (Hallsville, MO) on April 20, 2011
  The podcast provides a brief and basic beginning to the idea of Land Based Pollution. Viewers might be better watching the entire webinar to get the depth they may need to teach the concept. The podcast is interesting and provides great visuals about the topic.
