As an AP environmental class, The A block class was assigned to watch a video called Pandora’s Promise and reflect on the issues of nuclear power plants. There are a lot of concerns revolving around this issue and how environmentalist think all of these power plants are dangerous and hazardous because of explosions that have occured. Throughout the film we see how people shouldn’t be too concern. In the early stages of the film we see a lot of the people’s reactions of all the bad that has occurred. When people hear the word nuclear they think of weapons. We hear from people from around the time of World War two and how they have seen what nuclear products have done and how dangerous it is. In the film one of the narrators says “This is primarily not an energy source, this is primarily a weapon”. This says a lot because we see short films of Hiroshima and Nagasaki and how much damage the nuclear bombs did to the area. Also around that time they children in school had to practice ...

The Northern Pass is a proposed project to place or bury 1,110 towers across 192 miles from Quebec through New Hampshire and into Massachusetts. The total cost of this project will cost 1.6 billion dollars. There is a lot of controversy over this project and my opinion about this  is that it shouldn’t be passed. From reading articles and being lectured about the project, I got a pretty good understanding about the whole thing. If the towers were to be built all across New Hampshire, they would be passing through the White Mountains and even into people’s property. This is alone is one of the biggest concerns and no go’s for people. People like farmers don’t want this to happen because the towers could be buried or going through their fields. In an article by The Society for the Protection of New Hampshire Forest it states , “ They want us to accept their insulting offer to bury only one third of the 190-mile line, leaving most communities along the route with unwanted visual bli...

Going to the Andover Transfer station on Saturday February 10, 2018 was a bit different for me. Usually in my hometown of Norwell, Ma, we have a garbage truck system that takes our trash and recycling. Andover is a smaller town and a transfer station seems necessary. As we were traveling around the whole site on a cold and slippery day, it was quite interesting to learn about this station. There were limited workers there (one who was a full time worker) and pretty much all the work was done by the locals. Visiting the station was cool to see where the Andover population gets rid of there trash and recycling. Photo taken by Myles Abbate As we got off the bus, We headed straight over to the incinerator to see where and what happens to the peoples trash. It was like a small opening with a metal hole where the trash is disposed and crushed up. It was controlled by one of the workers and once there was enough trash filled up, He would do his work and crush it up. The trash is then br...
