Adopt-A-Highway Case Study

One of the environmental groups in the area, No Waste Louisiana, partners with local businesses and organizations to coordinate actions to minimize the environmental impacts in the region. No Waste Louisiana representative Catherine Schoeffler Comeaux writes, "Cleaning up the mostly plastic litter on our Gulf Coast and in our bayous will not be accomplished by a few do-gooders picking up trash. Recycling will not take care of the excessive and egregious amount of single use disposable plastics produced worldwide every day. No matter how much you pick up, no matter how many litter bugs you reform, no matter what you recycle — unless we reduce our waste on the front end as individuals while demanding changes in industry, we will continue to see our landscape, our food chain, our very genetic code contaminated.” Here, the representative identifies the high amounts of waste found in the area. While the representative recognizes that recycling, on its own, will not solve the problem, recycling is part of the solution.

If I had the authority to change my community in a positive way some changes I would enforce is volunteer to clean up the trash, organize a special event to raise money to help out around, give food out to the families in need and start a place to help/hand out food to the homeless. Many people don't realize how this could change or how much it would help. If we get people to help out in the community it would make other communities to do it so then the world would be great.

In Life, you can inspire or be inspired. Whatever you dedicate yourself to and become successful in what that plan, it is important to represent yourself, leaving a legacy for others to follow in your footstep. Many people of different backgrounds, race, and cultures all have a story to tell, a story that will be told years from now and impact someone to do even greater things in their time. As black history month approaches, a time where we acknowledge those who had great accomplishments, and how they impacted others as well as their community. Many African-Americans in Florida’s history, are not recognized as often as they should. One person, in particular, would be Joseph W. Hatchett.

There are many changes that I have observed in my neighborhood since living here for 21 years. There has been a recent migration of homeowners moving out of the neighborhoods. The home owners are either renting out their homes, to a new influx of section 8 tenants or they have chosen to walk away from their homes leaving many in the area to go into foreclosure. Foreclosure and crime are two of the biggest element of change that I have noticed in my neighborhood, and many of these problems arise from the economy, health and illness, and familial structure breakdown.

More than a day of volunteering, the National Day of Service and Remembrance is loaded with memorial occasions, magnanimous acts and group outreach. The aggregate group administration is headed all through the nation by not-for-profits, administration associations and corporate generosity programs as a living remembrance to the victimized people and legends of 9/11, and as an indication of the vitality of working all the more nearly together in peace to enhance our

In the early 1900s, the United States of America would see the introduction of a piece of technology that would change the way we as a society would look at travel. Henry Ford began production of Model T, the vehicle soon found its way into many American homes. By 1927, the Ford Motor Company had sold nearly 15 million of the mass produced, affordable car. The automobile was no longer a luxury but, a necessity for Americans. During the infancy of the automobile, the roads where nothing more than a mere rutted up path through the country side. Though shortly, people realized the need for better roads. The only problem was, who was going to pay the bill?

On holidays, we honor the great people who served our country, by hanging our flags in a memorial to them, a symbol of those who have passed.

On 11/08/2015, at approximately 0201 hours, your Affiant and assisting Officers were on State Route 924 near the Girard Park investigating a vehicle accident. Officers had marked police vehicles with the emergency lights activated which were stationary on both sides of the roadway.

For this service learning assignment I devoted my time and energy to working with Brooklyn Cemetery, the Food Bank of Northeast Georgia, and Athens Technical College. I participated in MLK Day of Service, which was created with the intent to “celebrate and honor the birthday of the famed civil rights leader, Martin Luther King Jr” ("There's Still," n.d.). This day of service stood to serve many different aspects of the community and benefited a wide range of populations, mostly in the form of environmental cleanup. Much of my time was also spent volunteering with The Food Bank of Northeast Georgia, whose mission is to “work toward ending hunger as part of an overall community effort to alleviate poverty” (Growing Seeds, 2016, p. 2). Through

The Military and Veteran Support programs help veterans and active duty service men and women and their families in many different areas. On November 11, 2011, Target brought together more than 1500 team members and volunteers for a day of service and remembrance. Each team worked toward the same goal – to build an America where every returning veteran can serve again as a citizen leader, and where together we honor the fallen by living their values through service (Target). Target sponsors the Military Child Education Coalition Annual Conference, where educators, senior military leaders, corporate leaders and military family members share knowledge and inspiration to support military-connected children. Target also proudly partners with Our Military Kids, providing grants to children of deployed and

Paper bags, cans, plastic trash, these are all examples of some of the things that I have seen driving to school and here's what I want to do about it. I intend to improve the community by taking annual field trips to do adopt-a-highway because, it would help the environment, make the town more presentable, and lastly it would save the government and taxpayers money. Adopt-a-highway would have a good impact on the environment, freeing it of clutter. Having a more presentable town would attract more tourists which means more money for small business. Adopt-a-highway would save the taxpayers money because there wouldn’t be anymore litter scattered about.

Atticus and two of his fraternity brothers, three other girls, a friend of mine I joined together on Saturday, March 31st to go to three separate parks in the Chattanooga region to do park clean-ups. The three parks we went to were Stringer’s Ridge, Rivermont Park, and Vandergriff. Our overall goal was to go to these parks and assess any garbage or waste that was within the parks and make sure all of it was properly put in the appointed receptacles at any of the given sites. We wanted our impact to be that people could be in a public park without being disturbed by rubbish that careless people did not dispose of properly. While the idea for this community service project was simple in actuality we believed that the overall inherent essence of what we did could have a lasting impression on people in the park who were observing the clean-up and those

Beginning this afternoon, Wednesday, November 22nd, Veterans Memorial Parkway will be open to traffic between Utica Ridge Rd and Elmore Ave.

Communities that are becoming more gentrified have already seen an improvement of life, and positive lasting changes in those communities. Patrick Gillespie

The Interstate Highway System has it’s pros and cons. People use the highway system for many things such as going to school, work, and or vacation. Some pros are that it makes it easier to get places, it’s used for transportation for our goods, etc. Some of the cons is that it can be traffic because of things like the population.
