There are a lot of people where I live that litter all the time. I have seen peolpe through things out of their cars even when driving by. There are multiple ways to solve this issue.

Use these questions to help you determine which picture shows someone else why your “place” is so special to you.
 * Does a scenic picture represent the beauty you believe that your town has?
 * <span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 16px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Does a picture of a group of people represent and show a warmth and friendliness that your town has?
 * <span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 16px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Does a statue or building convey the feeling of history that makes your place important and unique?
 * <span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 16px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Is there a cultural event that represents the values of your home location?

What are your initial thoughts about how your image addresses the questions above? Later, you will be working with the members of your group to create a travel package that includes visits to each group member's home location (see Phase II)

I think that both of my pictures show the beauty of raleigh and how it is a fun and eventful place. The picture of downtown especially captures how raleigh has a lot of trees and beautiful nature. The RBC center shows the warth and friendliness of Raleigh becuase everyone is together and having fun at a hockey game. The capitol building in my pictures is a very important and historical building that is important to me and everyone in Raleigh. It was completed in 1840 it is also know to be a highligh for visitors to see and go to.

Phase III: Identify Local Issue:

What is your local issue? My local issue involves polution and how there are many factories around my town and there are hardly and people who drive ecofriendly cars and use recycled paper at my school.

What can you do to address the issue? I can do my part in walking more and using the car less and using recycled paper for all of my school work.

What is the global impact of your local issue? If we don't start taking care of our planet then Glabal Warming will start taking effect and killing our animals such as polar bears and soon it will be too late to help our world.
