Cool Things to BuyStudent Reflection“We need to help the Bronx River because we were the ones who polluted it. We were the ones throwing garbage in the River. We were the ones not caring about the Bronx River . We were the ones who let the govenment construct factories, bridges, and other harmful things that affected our precious pearl. Since we are the ones to blame, we should be the ones to help. There are organizations like Rocking the Boat that help us do this. We have planted Spartina on the river's shores to provide a more healthy environment for the animals that habitate the river. We have cleaned the river to make it look beautiful, and if we could do that, imagine all the things we could do.” -Sonia Alphonso, apprentice, age 17, Fannie Lou Hamer Freedom High School |
