We face several global challenges. A Global Challenge is a major issue facing our planet that no one institution can solve. Acid rain is one of these global challenges. Government agencies and scientists are not the only ones that can take action to stop acid rain. You can become part of the solution, too! The first step you can take to help control acid rain is to understand the problem and its solutions and share what you know.

It is now your turn, design a solution to this complex real-world problem by breaking it down into smaller, manageable problems that can be solved through engineering. You will need to:
- State the problem that needs to be addressed.
- Identify two sub-problems.
- Complete some research, so you can determine two or more solutions to the sub-problems.
- Identify how your solutions will fix the sub-problems and the problem at hand.
- Explain the criteria and constraints for your selected solutions.
- Which solution should be the highest priority.
