Introduction:.
We are studing the haze in the Grand Canyon. We went to the Cholla Power Plant to see if power plants are the reason for the haze. Then we went to the Grand Canyon to look at the haze (above).

Recommendations:
We recommend that Arizona power plants should be moved to another state so the pollution in the Grand Canyon will be low.

Positive Consequences:
A positive consequence is if we move Arizona power plants to a state out of Arizona the haze will be at a lower rate than it is now.
Another positive would be if we could get power plants to use more scrubbers in their smoke stacks, then they won't be causing too much haze in the Grand Canyon.

Negative Consequences :
A negative consequence is that the pollution might change direction with the wind, if the wind comes north to south and west to east.
Another consequence is that the power plants that produce the electricity might take too long to get here.
