Pollution is a very serious thing is parks. Trash can ruin the landscape and endanger the animals that live there. In our park there was trash cans to regulate litter, but most of them were over flowing leaving trash strewn all over the place.Our park has 3 large trash cans, and one smaller trash can right at the beginning of a trail. These three trash cans we have observed get emptied regularly every week. This does not stop them from being overflowing in some cases. Each large trash can when full (which it gets every week) holds 11091.94 in^2 of trash and the small trash can holds 6650.28 in^2. Altogether these cans hold 39,926.1 in^2 of trash. Our park is 1000 acres and the area we observed was 9.42 acres so the amount of trash per 9.42 acres is 93.51 in^2.
Pollution is a very big issue in the environment and my park is doing a very good job trying to regulate it. Also the people that use the park are very respectful and want to keep the park clean as well.
I agree with you...Pollution is a HUGE issue and needs to be taken care of. Great information on the issue.
ReplyDeleteYeah I really like how you are showing that we are trying to keep things clean but even then it can still get out of hand.
ReplyDeleteWow didn't know how big of a deal pollution could be. We take clean streets for granted I'm not going to liter anymore.
