Contaminated Drinking Water in Philadelphia
In this video, I talked about how Philadelphia's drinking water is contaminated with forever chemicals. I included the department that oversees Philadelphia's drinking water. In addition to that, I included the effects of the forever chemicals. I wanted to talk about it because even though the department that oversees Philadelphia drinking said it was fine, I still wanted to educate people to make sure they know what's in their water so they can make their own decisions. What I did well was giving the information on the side effects and how the water was contaminated. What I could have done differently is made the images better and speak more slowly. The most meaningful part of the experience of creating the PSA was gathering the information because it is crucial that people know this information for them to keep themselves in good health.
