The purpose of this assignment was to complete a proposal for a formal report where the report was meant to investigate, analyze and recommend amendment to an identified issue. As a Registered Dental Hygienist and environmental enthusiast, I chose to investigate the green practices within dental offices. This topic worked well as my research would be associated with my place of work. As a full time student and full time clinician, this topic allowed me to utilize my limited time efficiently.
