English 102 research presentations

This weeks presentations have given me a lot of insight on problems that occur in our everyday lives. As GateWay students, we might be able to help spread the word on things like recycling, saving money on textbooks, effects of obesity, education for the future generations, etc. We could probably even start clubs for issues that effect people and develop small solutions for them. For Medinas presentation on recycling, I learned that there is such thing as an island made up of trash. I find this as a very sad issue because the poor animals surrounded by the trash are effected from this situation. I also find it intresting that I only seem to recycle when i'm on campus, I guess I feel like a RECYCLING officer is watching everything I dispose of into the trash.
