I find Staten Island’s Fresh Kills neighborhood interesting because it had a long history as one of the most notorious landfills in the US. Also, unlike many other landfills, Fresh Kills is located near predominately white communities so I want to find out why they chose to live there. What caught my eye the most is that Fresh Kills is being transformed from a landfill into an ecological park. I want to explore the demographical differences between the people living near Fresh Kills back in the days when it was a landfill and the people living near Fresh Kills now. I could also explore the community myself and talk to people who currently live there about their views of the landfill and the prospective Fresh Kills Park.
