Sidewalk Part of the Project

The sidewalks that are filled with cement and soil, are useless. The sidewalks are so wide, and no one even walk on that space because there are small trees. Along Campus Road from Whitehead hall to James hall the boxes are 1380ft by 4.5ft. There is another 175ft by 4.5ft of the same not productive cement right of the exit of Whitehead Hall. The cement can be taken out, and plants or grass can be grown to absorb the rain, improve the environment, and give the college a healthier and more vibrant outlook. The price of the plants/grass is dependent on the type of plant/grass that is used, but it should not be too much because the greens are relatively cheap. Volunteers and students can grow the plants, and use it as a case study for a project. This is a win-win situation for the environment, and the students. One problem is that people with cars will park next to the sidewalk, and will step on it when getting out of the car. It would not take too much time to re-grow or re-plant, so it will not be a big deal. Also, the gaia soil will be used. Gaia soil is recycled material turned soil. It will be very cost-efficient and perfect in promoting and teaching everyone about the benefits recycling. Some people might claim that it they will waste a lot of time not being able to walk onto the grass to go across the street. A little more exercise never hurts. The energetic young college students should not complain, because this gives them more time to talk with their friends while walking, and they are full of energy.
