ou and your learning coach decide to attend the town meeting. During the meeting, town leaders allow a set time for brainstorming design solutions that would limit the negative environmental impact if the shopping center is allowed.
Which of the following possible solutions would do the LEAST to help protect the existing wetlands in the proposed construction site?
replanting native trees in the area that will be affected by construction
allowing the construction to continue as requested by the builder, but talk about expanding other wetlands in the future
building a smaller shopping center so it does not take up as much wetland area
renovating an existing vacant mall and using recycled materials for the renovations (instead of building a new shopping center)
