  6. An environmental issue is pollution from the trucks that come from THE MARKET in hunts point. those trucks idle for up to 8 hours and this makes the rate for asthmatics higher in the south Bronx than anywhere else.

  10. An environmental issue is people smoking around me because the smell stinks. Also i have asthma and that can cause me to have an asthma attack.So we need to get this under control before people start dying. Smoking isn't good and we need to stop it. By:Kyra

  11. I think that the problem with the food is that it has too much salt in it. I also think that the food has too much sugar. We should also should eat the severing size.

  15. I like the fact that Mayor Bloomberg is doing something about this. Even though smokers still manage to smoke anywhere and it seems like it's allowed everywhere when it's not. In the building i live in, a lot of people smoke around the hallway and talk about stupid things I can't really explain. Every time they smoke, my mom closes the door because my little brother, little sister and my brother have (or had) asthma. I'm probably the only one with a partial life sickness, allergies, and the fact that I am not able to smell strong smells instantly.

    My cousin, Jimmy, has never smoked in his life (unlike his older brother and sister) and now he lives in a very healthy life since his older siblings were sent away. For instance, his eyes are light blue (they used to be dark brown) and he has abs/muscles because he used to do 10 pull-ups every time he went through a door in his house.
