Thanks for reading this blog :).
Lol There’s a scum pond like that in my old neighbourhood! Nothing has ever been done about; everyone’s just used to it being there….it’s so….ewww!
Hi Althea,
Sounds like it’s time to build a bridge ;).
Nice video.Very nice initiative.Doing good deeds for the sake of people.Your nice person.Godbless you.
Hi Amy,
Happy to hear that you liked the video :). I didn’t make the bridge (or the video) though, it was created by Jason Eppink and someone going by the name Posterchild. For more on them see this site: http://jasoneppink.com/astoria-scum-river-bridge/
I agree with Amy- it’s great to read about people doing good deeds solely for the sake of others with no ulterior motive. It sounds like the bridge has made a huge difference to the lives of the people in the community; it just goes to show how a relatively simple and uncostly bit of innovation can have a profound effect. It’s sad to think that the problem made life so difficult for years, yet was easily fixable in months with the right knowledge and resources.
Ian,
Good point, it is sad that the problem was so easily fixed in the end. It was just a drop in the bucket for the company responsible but they lacked something incredibly important: caring for the community.
