    I love all the pictures and the captions because they have great detail and it really expresses your feeling for sustainability.

    This made me think of how we have the Assabet River in Hudson and we work hard to keep it clean. I never thought about how if we pollute our breathing air and drinking water that it would cause effect in other parts of the world.

    Wow!! I learned a lot about how to help our environment from your project. I was especially interested in the section on ponds and wild life. I never thought about the impact that recycling could have on our community, even though we have programs in our school. What progams does your community to to help the environment?

    I really enjoyed your pictures. Now I know to use recyclable items and any item labled with recycle symbol. I also know to buy reusable water instead of a Poland Spring water bottle. Another thing that I enjoyed was the pictures.

    Do you have a lot of hybrids and cars like the smart car in NY?

    Good topics although in transportation there was a bit of emphasis on hybrid cars, although they do more damage to the enviroment being made then they stop by not burning as much fuel. And their batteries are lithium ion, whch are toxic and can only be recharged so many times. Also, with smart cars, they don’t produce any emissions while driving but the electricity you recharge them with most of the time comes from a fossil fuel power plant. I think that you should have taken a look into hydrogen cars, which run on hydrogen and only produce water as a byproduct.

    I learned a lot about sustainability and eating healthy from your presentations. My family and I want to follow your examples, but we think it’s hard to do because we are so used to eating junk food and not thinking about how what we do can affect the environment.

    I was wondering what the white dot is on the pepper? What is the pollution like in New York?

    It was interested to learn how I could keep our enviornment clean. I also loved your pictures that you have put.

    I thought pollution was bad but not this bad. In Hudson we have a lot of traffic, therefore a lot of pollution.

    Nice pics. This shows alot about wild life. The pics were really cool. It also shows the dangers of pollution.

    That picture with the airplane I thought was awesome. I wish that my town had something like that. I actually went to Long Island, New York once.

    I didn’t know that heaters have harmful effects on the environment. I think it’s a good idea to use a fireplace too.

    I never knew that you had macs at your school. You are lucky. Also, having all that healthy fruit and vegetables at your school. We don’t have that.

    I learned a lot about how to help our environment from your project. I was especially interested in the section on ponds and wild life. I never knew recycling could make such a huge impact on a community.

    This makes me think of the Assabet River in Hudson and how we try to keep it clean. It really makes you think about how everything we do affects the environment. Great job!

    I learned alot about eating healthy and how not to eat junk food. I am wondering why do you think most people eat more junk food than healthly food.

  21. Armel C
    November 28, 2011

    It was really fun learning about health and what is good for the earth, but what really enjoyed learning was pollution. I enjoyed this because now that I look back to all the stuff that I threw on the ground, I picked them up by picking up others.

  22. Emily S.
    November 28, 2011

    This made me think about the pollution and our wild life here in Hudson Massachusetts in a way I never have before, because just thinking about the pollution and how its killing our plants and the plant life that gives us oxygen. Also these pictures are really cool and neat! (:

    I think that the ideas you addressed in your project are very interesting. It looks like you put a lot of hard work and effort into this. Your pictures seemed to describe the issues you were talking about very effectively.

    That is all very interesting I did not know any of that. Now I am glad I do.

    Hi! My name is Tess, I go to Callisburg High School, Texas USA. I enjoyed looking at the pictures you have posted! We try very hard to keep Texas clean, and so far its still a beautiful state. I like seeing your pictures, and although I cannot help there, it makes me appreciate where I live and try to keep it clean. <3

    The pollution projects were great! Very well written. My family recycles aluminum cans, but I’d like to do more. There aren’t many recycling centers in my area.
