Paul, a recently hired product development manger is in charge of a new polymer-processing project that has a genetic component to it. The project has the potential for billions in revenues. The company has been dumping a variety of wastes into a nearby river. The EPA has checked the waste levels and has signed off on them, but Paul is still concerned. Because of the radical nature of the project and the EPAs unfamiliarity with the types of chemicals, genetic manipulations, and their properties, Paul and a few others feel that this could not only harm the environment but could cause the company problems in the long run. Paul should:

1. try to gather data to provide hard evidence that there is a problem.
2. inform the media of the potential environmental hazards.
3. talk to the EPA and convince them of the long-term dangers of the waste runoff.
4. do nothing.
5. do nothing and convince other employees not to pursue this.
