Done!!

Well, I just put the last finishing touches on my article. It is about 7 pages, and over 2000 words. I think it came out very good. I wrote it from my personal aspect and added in some research as well. I also added some info on what people can do to help protect the Long Island Sound from getting worse than it already is. I found an interesting organization's article called the Long Island Sound Study. It was started in 1985 by the Department of Environmental Protections Agencies in New York and Connecticut. They have only just started making cooperative efforts to focus on the overall ecosystems being affected by climate change. Even though this is a bi-state partnership, it consists of federal and state agencies, user groups, concerned organizations, and individuals dedicated to restoring and protecting the Sound. I am thinking about joining this organization when I graduate from Unity in December, because I am very interested in helping protect the Sound considering I grew up fishing there. More and more and I go there things are changing, and I cant take seeing it. It makes me so depressed and disgusted. Just knowing that my kids might not be able to go fishing there if things dont get better soon makes me so mad because some of my favorite childhood memories were there and I want theres to be there too. Now all I have left to do is workshop with my class and get some feedback on things that need to be changed and comments on things that fit well. I really hope they like it, and I hope I can get this published at some point. I have a strong passion for the Long Island Sound and hope to some day be a big part in helping to protect it. I will write back soon.
