I created a visual aid to explain the effects that a farm can bring to nearby residents. The biggest threat unregulated runoff brings to the average resident is well-water pollution. On several accounts, farm sediment has entered the water sources of nearby homes. When this happens, something as simple as showering can be dangerous.

In order to express my concerns more publicly, I created a letter to the editor communicating my findings, my fears and my ideas. I explained how urgent the issue is, how ineffective the current solution is, and how we could do better. I'm hoping that the threat of a public health crisis is enough to convince local powers to make a change.
