Descriptive Essay About My Country

Having lived in Maryland all of my life, I’m extremely surprised by the amount of pollution that happens in my home state. The first example of water pollution that I’ve found is the Inner Harbor in Baltimore. I haven’t visited the area recently, but according to an article by author Alex DeMetrick, it has the dubious reputation of being one of Maryland’s polluted sections. DeMetrick states that “Trash is the most obvious pollutant, but that’s only the surface problem. A lot more spills out of storm drains.” (DeMetrick, 2011). Not only is the issue of trash and sewage affecting the area’s environmental stability and visual appeal, but is also taking a toll on income and revenue as well. One of the main attractions of the inner Harbor is its

Famous for its endless beaches of pristine white powdery sand beaches lapped by gin-clear warm Caribbean waters and world-class shopping in Puerto Plata, it’s no wonder the Dominican Republic is fast becoming a global holiday destination.

Mason city in Clearlake makes a lot of money off tourists. Not having our town be a tourist attraction kind of goes along with pollution because no one wants to go to place it is extremely smelly. Plus, there will be much lower population because of the pollution, Prestage will be be chasing people away. People come to Mason city to visit our beautiful Town and our friendly environment. People go to Clearlake for the same reasons, plus the beautiful lake and everything that goes along with it, seasonal restaurants and shops, all 4 seasons, etc. People can walk outside and smell the fresh air. I love walking outside hearing mowers running, seeing people smiling, the smell of fresh cut grass, and the newly planted flowers. The parade is one of my favorite times of the year, I live on the parade route, so I get to wake up and look out my window and see all the people biking, running, setting up, talking to one another, and smiling. Desmoinesregister.com says “Flory said Clear Lake tourism is a major economic engine, pumping $40 million to $50 million annually into the community. A pork processing plant might fit Mason City's needs, but it doesn't fit the kind of industry, Clear Lake wants to attract, he said” "We're in an area that is very environmentally" sensitive. All in all, it is easy to see that the Prestage plant

for the first time in fifty years, which is a major problem Economic growth does not have to occur at the expense of the current population. Economic growth in D.C. does not have to be limited to preserve the character and lifestyle of the community, but only if it reached in another form beyond gentrification. There are various other ways to implement economic growth in cities such as building the workforce, entering in collaborations, and working through corporate controlled ownership. In my hometown of Memphis, Tennessee there have been several projects and initiatives taken over in the last 20 years, but gentrification is not something that my city has truly seen. There has not been the dreadful transition of a perished community to an upscale unaffordable neighborhood. Memphis is willing to use federal grant dollars and its ability to cap rents to ensure affordable housing in specified areas. The most recent development of the South Main Artspace Lofts in September came with a fifteen-year cap on rental rates ranging from $550 to $850 a month depending on income level and apartment specifications. Other new Downtown units average more than $1,200 a month. Memphis is growing economically in areas such as South City, Uptown, and Binghampton; areas which would have been targeted by Washington’s government. I believe Tennessee’s government is showing an example

In Tennessee, there are many wonderful communities to live in. The focus of this assessment is Hendersonville, Tennessee. This community is one I am the most familiar with since I have lived there for almost twenty years. I have seen this community change and grow throughout the years. The demographics of this community along with its infrastructure have changed a lot over the years. There are many good aspects of this community and many things that can be improved. As shown, there are multiple aspects of a community to take into consideration.

We as a community are all able to contribute to alleviating this problem. We pay a big amount of taxes, and it is reasonable to say that we can have a say in how to spend some of them. The community would be a much better place if the government, as well as some more fortunate individuals, are able to spend money on efforts to preserve our pristine environment. Many charities and organizations of people we could trust would spend this money appropriately, and it would be great if more people supported these groups. It would also be helpful if the government leaders can legislate stricter regulations in terms of infrastructure’s pollution limits. The Loudoun County region is quickly urbanizing, and it would be very beneficial if we can continue to grow without any damage to our climate. In practicality, many things can make sure of this. For instance, the local council could enforce that all construction and industrial processes are done by the most modern and eco-friendly technology.Some might argue that this would drive industries away, but I think that the businesses that would leave are not appropriate for our community to house anyway. Our community could also do with more parks and reserves in the area. Driving around the city, I see that lush, dense woods that house a great number of organisms are being cleared out for more offices and buildings. This is somewhat inevitable, but I think there should

The convenience of living in an urban or suburban neighborhood can be appealing to many people. Choosing between areas can sometimes be overwhelming for some individual. People are not only concerned about the safety of a community, but they are also concerned about the environment. Although some neighborhoods might look attractive, people should consider the expense that comes with it, and how commuting will affect them in the long run. Nevertheless, both neighborhoods have their specific advantages and disadvantages. When choosing between an urban or suburban neighborhood, it is important for people to research the community, the expense, and convenience

Nevertheless, to win re-elections civic officials must act or appear to act in the best interest of the community they serve. Thus, city officials support the development of residences near freeways because it allows them to build their reputation as officials who do their job by addressing the housing shortage, but they are neglecting the well being of those individuals who end up occupying given dwellings.

New York faces a various number of infrastructure issues, regardless of the neighborhood status quo. Many city roads, subways, bridges, water mains, sewer systems, school buildings, and other public buildings are over 50 years old. More than 200 of New York City’s public

On my second day in Canada, I took a stroll outside in the community of Salmon Arm. The warmth of the sunshine on my face and the fresh breeze weaving by helps me forget for a moment that people are still suffering from the war in other places - places like my home in Syria. Back in Syria, piles of rubble made up cities, buildings were stained with blood, and rebellious symbols were painted on every alley. Innocent families roamed the streets in search of a safe haven to spend the night. I can still vividly picture the Syrian children: faces smeared with dirt, eyes tainted with hopelessness that forever concealed their shine, and mouths moved in a uniform motion that cried out their anguish.

It was a beautiful day in Rome, Italy. The sky was a clear, baby blue and the weather was warm, just hot enough to need a fan in the August day. People were walking on the streets, hand gestures everywhere as if they are so passionate about what they are talking about. I hear ‘Ciao Bella’ and ‘buongiorno’ from the friendly Italians I come across. I know what they are saying and find myself laughing, the mere sound of the language amuses me. Walking down the street, I took note of the siesta time, also known as riposo time in Italy. The stores and restaurants close down from noon until about 3:00 pm, giving people the time to go home and rest or take care of other things. From my room in my hotel, I noticed the acoustics in the city are

As a child, people will always remember certain destinations that stick with them that made a good impression. I have a place that not only made a good impression, it changed me. It made me think off all the things in life people take for granted; places, people, activates. This place brought all though special things in life to one place where I can enjoy them all at the same time. The Oregon coast. Traveling there, as a kid was always special. Waking up early in the morning and driving the long trip there, going through forests, valleys, and cities.
