Design an experiment(s) to test the hypothesis. 4. Perform the experiment(s). 5. Accept, reject, or modify the hypothesis. These five simple steps have worked spectacularly well for another group of problem solvers, scientists, for over three centuries now. With only a slight refinement they can serve just as well for the modern environmental movement. These steps have proven to be so foolproof and productive, if followed correctly, that we should tamper with them as little as possible. This leads easily and logically to the nine steps of the Analytical Method: 1. Identify the problem to solve. 2. Choose an appropriate process. 3. Use the process to hypothesize analysis or solution elements. 4. Des
