Andy talked about how many of the older areas and construction sites in Ithaca are doing things that unintentionally arm harming the Finger Lakes. This was very surprising to me because I expected our town of motivated college students and environmentally conscious individuals to do something about this. I’m glad that we have people like Andy who are making that effort to change things from the past that we need to fix for the future. He also mentioned that in particular Ithaca likes to think that it is very green, but really it still has some problems with floods carrying waste into the water. I might have similar issues on a personal level. I like to think that I care a lot about the environment, but I still do things like keep electronics on or forget to recycle. Maybe I should start reevaluating my own choices first.
