Overview
For project four I wanted to research river pollution and ways it could be helped. I wrote an essay on all of the best thing that could be done to keep the river clean. I also made a ceramic piece for art.
English and Global Studies
For english and global studies I researched the Yellow, Buriganga, Shatt Al-Arab and Matanza Rivers, I was looking for facts on the river and their impact on the communities surrounding as well as how the river has/hasn't been kept clean. I used the information I gathered on the rivers and some outside information on river conservation to write my essay. My essay was on a fake river that combined the information from the other rivers, this new river, called the Tangur River, is an example of what our waterways could be like if we did everything possible to protect them from human pollution.
Art
For art I made a ceramic planter that looks like a factory, one of the main polluters of waterways today. I'm going to fill the planter with medicinal plants that help with some of the many health conditions people get by living along the shores of polluted rivers. The contaminated water can cause anything from skin rashes to cancer. I researched medicinal plants that would help with some of the milder heath conditions and began to grow them so they could be put into the planter when finished
