Activity 10: Freshkills Park

6:04 PM / Posted by Group 7 /

The trip to Freshkills Park has help me become more aware of our environment. It was the first time for me to know about the dumping of garbage in this area back then. Having the image of people living in this area, I could see that many has suffer from this because of the horrid same it gives off. However this park has a major change since back then because now it has become a place for recreation and activities. It will take almost another twenty to thirty years for the whole Freshkills Park to be finish into a nice looking park. To make this good looking park took many process in making it. All these will turn out to be good. But what worries me the most is the garbage they are now sending to South Carolina. Now those people living there would smell the horrid smell and also may have health problems because of all those bacteria. Burning it will be a problem, throwing it to the ocean will be a major problem which will bring more risk to the environment. What ways will be the safest way, even to now, we still can't think of a way to dump our garbage where we can have a safe environment. Every way we are doing it right now are causing problems so we must raise awareness to people about the garbage dumping. Overall the whole trip was pretty fun. I love the ride from the Ferry because it reminds me of old memories. When we were AT Freshkills, it help me learn that we should spread the awareness of garbage dumping to everyone and help them learn how damaging it could be to us. Not only this but it will help us keep our environment clean from these garbage.
