After taking this class we have taken notice of how limited our resources are and how rapidly people are burning through them. Taking care of our environment should be a number one priority, but sadly many still continue to pollute our environment with garbage, chemicals and pollution. We did our EACAP project with Reading Beautification Inc. During the project we had to clean up Union Canal Trail in Stonecliffe Park. In the park we found a lot of trash such as diapers and beer bottles in mass quantities. This really opened our eyes to how bad the situation really is. Garbage such as this destroys habitats for wildlife which in the long run has an effect on us. The main thing that we learned in this class is that it is not the number of people in the world, but the manner in which we choose to live, in order to sustain our environment for future generations we all need to work together to reduce our consumption of resources as well as take care of our environment by not polluting it. From our research project we learned that dams are very helpful but if we don’t take of them, then dams can effect the ecosystems tremendously.
