| Hudson Park, Bayonne Fall 2021 |
I decided to do my project on pollution and global warming. As we all know, people litter daily and this hurts our ecosystem. We, as Gen Z, are responsible to fix the problem that the generations before us created. I chose a certain area in my hometown, Bayonne, to post my posters and activism. I chose Hudson Park, located on Avenue A/Boulavard in Bayonne. I chose this location because they have spent hundreds to thousands of dollars on creating a beautiful county park but failed to fix the most breathtaking part of the park: the Hudson River. This river is constantly filled with garbage and it takes away the beauty the park brings. The garbage piles up on the rocks and it attracts rodents. I want the people of my town to recognize this and ask for change. It is time to get started and clean our only home! Though science works on trying to get our populations to Marz and creating a home for us, I do not believe they will complete this in time. We only have one home we can count on and we are destroying it before our very eyes. We are the parasite on the planet and it is slowly choking us out. We need to clean it, nurture it, and care for it like we care for our sick and loved ones.
As said in the past reading, Photography, the photographs we take show the culture of our world, but it also shows the destruction of our world. In my bottom picture, with the green index cards, I tried to take a picture of not just the poster but a bit of the trash that was laying on the rocks. Though there are times where the trash can be worse, I wanted everyone to see a glimpse of what it is we are truly doing to the world. If you did not already know, during the pandemic when we were forced to stay indoors all day for weeks on end, our ozone layer started to fix itself. Why? Because we, humans, did not cause pollution every day. We were not using our vehicles, our factories, or anything that hurts the plants so, with time, it started to heal on its own. We need to understand that some things are worth the cost. We need to switch to things that are healthy for our environment and lower the costs to that everyone, no matter the social status or the money in your pocket, can afford to use products that help heal the planet and our home.
