The creation of the massive incinerator seems to have no benefit to the community or the surrounding areas. The company planning to build this large health risk does not even have the amount of buyers to justify putting the lives of so many at risk. I take the whole situation a ruse to interrupt peoples lives enough that they move out of town, leaving behind their histories. This freeing of space allows more companies to come in and use the land to their advantage. These companies are destroying people's homes for a quick buck.
As a class we could work with the community to bring back their memories, to bring back the community that dissipated when the industry came in and took over. We could get the kids involved with a clean up day where we could walk the streets and remaining shoreline to collect trash. Or a community garden with a compost center.
