I took a picture of this because I believe our clean water problem is among the most serious problems as humans and even other living organisms need water to live. In this image, you can clearly see how polluted our water really is. The amount of pollution in the water is not safe for humans or for animals, not to mention the animals that live there if there are any even left. Additionally, in the picture there is what I believe to be a small freight ship which I learned is actually really bad for the environment. Freight ships actually expel a tremendous amount of pollution into our waterways. I really believe that something has to be done to clean our water before it’s too late. There has to be a big project to clean our water for the sake of humans and animals.
I really appreciate the issue you chose to capture because I feel like New Yorkers don’t associate the city with a clean water problem. Most drinking water issues tend to be reserved for “third world countries,” and I agree with you in that New Yorkers need to focus on maintaining a healthy water supply. Considering all the other nations struggling with water, we should be far more attentive with the water supply we have now.
