Environmental Justice PSA Project
For this quarter's benchmark my group chose to do air pollution, we focused on a certain part of Philadelphia though. We did the Riverwards which is a very toxic place in Philadelphia with about 5 or 6 neighborhoods within it. Asthma and death rates were high in the area.There were about 400 people more or less affected in the whole city of Philadelphia as of August 2016. A problem that we found was that a number of old buildings and factories were polluting the air both when they were active and now.
We chose this topic because millions of people die globally each year which is a huge problem. Our human population and other populations are dropping dead due to the chemicals, fumes, and toxic/trashy smells being released into the air. An example, about a week ago in South Philadelphia the air had a foul smell which was caused by a ferry in the water where oil was leaking. Little things like that can cause a big problem. An oil leak made a part of the city smell like it was rotting. We chose to this for reasons like that, the air can be polluted by little things which our human population will always be affected by. My group would just like to bring awareness to air pollution because some people don't know every component of this type of pollution and we would like them to know what they can learn and do from us.
In this group, I contributed ideas, and lots of information on this topic. I also contributed support to my team members ideas and tried to come up with suggestions if I didn't quite like their idea. In this group, I worked on this video with some of the creative things within the video. I said a lot of my knowledge of computers in learning how to find things and bring things up that my partners weren't able to do. I believe that I could have done better with my research portion. I found the valuable information I just don't think that all of my information was good for the part of the city we focused on. I believe I did well with communication and staying on top of all my responsibilities in this project. I was on top of everything I had to do.
The most meaningful part in creating this PSA was being able to communicate with everyone without a problem and everyone being supportive and understanding. Also learning how to use the editing app to make the video. I learned a lot moving through this project. Things like using the green screen. This project has taught me a lot about air pollution. I knew some things and I learned more things. This project was meaningful in a lot of ways.
