I think this would be a great activity for our students to research in the classroom. They could research where there families lived, where the school is located, or possibly use it as a part of an environmental project. I should warn you, I have strong feelings about people destroying the places that we live in. I agree with Wil's comment about driving & increasing the CO2 levels. Unfortunately, I am not as good as Jack to recycle everyone's bottles, again thank you Jack! ok, back to the topic at hand. My school is in Roxborough and some of our students live in Manyunk. This would be a great project for the kids to learn about the history of manufactering in Manyunk because of it's location near the canal. I would like to develop a project that the kids use the maps, research what the area looked like 50-100 year ago, how the area developed, and how humans have impacted the environment either in a positive or a negative manner.
