I think that our communities biggest issue is not paying enough money to our primary product producers(a.k.a farmers). For example, when you buy a box of cereal for 4 dollars you are giving most of that money to the company or brand and advertisers. Less than a dollar of that money goes to our farmers which are the ones that grow the wheat to make the cereal.

i think that our community's issue is that too many peaple are looseing there jobs and in a resalt of that peaple are looseing there homes and no one should be without a home. espesialyfamilys

AustinD said...

The air pollution in Preston. The air pollution can be reduced if the people that live in Preston walk to stores close to them.If your getting gas you can drive your car there, but if you aren't you are polluting the air.

Kirsten E said...

I think that an environmental issue is food and money if you do not have enough money you cann't get food then you can not servive.

KatieS said...

One issue is pollution.a possable solution is that more and hopefuly all people will stop littering.

TIYERRA.B said...

I THINK LITTIRING IS A BIG ISSUE IN MY COMMUNITY BECAUSE WHEN YOU WALK 5FEET DOWN THE STREET YOU SEE CANDY WRAPPERS AND RESTAURANT BAGS AND CUPS BUT HOPEFULLY PEOPLE WILL STOP LITTERING AND WE WILL HAVE A NICE,CLEAN COMMUNITY TO LIVE IN

TONI H! said...

Polution and littering.polution because trucks put smoke in the air and littering because mostly everyone in Federalsburg litter's. people really need to start caring more about our enviroment.

kristen.m.f said...

The people's salary.(a.k.a) money people get from you job.And when bad the salary is low then some people don't get payed enofe money so it's really hard to get food to fed your famliy's because of the food being to high. also the gas price is too high.

Mikayla.G said...

I think the biggest issue in our communitie is the economy and unemployment-rate.For example,people are losing money and their jobs.

melody.c. said...

My mom thinks littering is a bit of a problem on our street. Especially beer cans and other things too. There is a person that goes around my area and throws empty beer cans on the ground. I think that a police man/women should try to catch him. I could go and clean up his mess and the other things that have been littered, but the person would probably just litter it again.

Madeline R. said...

The biggest environmental issue is that the bay is so polluted that it is contaminating the seafood we eat. The contaminated water gets into the food and when people eat the food they are spreading diseases and people are starting to die because of it.

Jaret B said...

I think our biggest issue is people being laid off.My neighbor was laid off last yaer for no reason.Doing this makes people not have money to pay bills and makes them loose thier homes.

Taylor M. said...

I think our communities biggest issue is people loosing their jobs.When they loose their job they cant't pay their bills then they loose their house and even if they have one a car.Another issue is people littering,when i lives in Hurlock all i ever saw in the ditch was beer cans ciggaret boxes.

Thomas G said...

Some issues in our community are polution and people littering. Most the time I walk outside, there is garbage in our ditch. If the town of Preston would put a trash can on the side walk every few hundred feet, peo could throw away their trash in those. It would also give sombody a job which is also a problem. If Preston put trash cans on the sidewalks, not only will the comunity will be cleaner, more people could have jobs if they emptied the trash cans every day.

Jazmine B said...

I think that a community issues in my town is that the pollution and littering.In my ditch when I cut grass there is always trash.A way to solve that problem is to have people from the state come and pick up trash everyday.

Aj.p said...

the people in my community mostly care about is money and gas because they may have a job and need to get there and need money so they can have gas to get to their jobs

ApollosM. said...

I think my communities biggest issue is littering. The reason why I think that is because yesterday I went over my cousins house which is right down the street and his neighbors were talking about how much trash is everywhere. I think there needs to be more trashcans everywhere.

eliashab said...

The biggest problem in my community is drugs because people buy them and do not have money left.My neighborhood could call the cops and have them arrested.

Cody O said...

People keep littering and it makes
our town look ugly. This seems to be
a problem in our community. We should
get a lot of people to help clean
up this litter.

Paul F said...

A community issue is too many cars driving down my road to make the air worse from the car's exhaust. A way to fix this problem could be to make the cars slow down or to make another road so not too many cars come down one road at a time.

ScottW:) said...

i think people burning rubber and plastic is bad because it creates lots of smoke and can burn down tree........at my house the neighbors caught a tree on fire before and they create so much smoke i can't see out the window

janae.c said...

people in my community care about property because they be littering and they get tired of it.

Kendel G. said...

The biggest problem is drugs. There is to many people smoking, chewing, and drinking drugs.

BrianaN said...

A community issue would be when people throw there trash away and they don't put all the trash in the trash can ,people just throws it on the ground.Another problem is that people kill to many oysters and whith out oysters are bay will stay dirty.

Kaleb J said...

I think an issue in my community is littering because a lot of trash blows into our yard and all over the streets. I think we could stop littering by putting trash cans on every street corner so people could throw it away instead of dropping it on the streets.

BrianaN said...

A community issue would be that cars polute the air with gas and that can cause health problems and hurt people realy bad.

kierra.d. said...

A issue in the world is people losing there jobs they lose there homes and they can't provide the thing's they need for there family's and can't pay there bills.

Trew W said...

The issue in my community is speeding. When cars and trucks speed this causes there to be a lot of exhaust smoke which is not good for the environment. When cars and trucks speed they sometimes hit animals that are in the road because they can't slow down in time. One of the ways to help stop the speeding in my community would be to have to a police officer in the community more than once a day to make sure cars and trucks aren't speeding.

corrnJ said...

The people in our communities are taking the farm land away and cutting trees down.

amberb said...

I think an issue in our community is cars puffs of smoke. Every morning I get stuck behind a car that has just pulled out of the driveway and the puffs of smoke are really bad. My parents don't use there car as much as we they use to do.

Hali w said...

In my community people speed and all most hit some kids playing in the street so we need to make our community safer be safe = >

dylan g said...

my communities biggest issue is that a lot of the people bern trash and it is polluting the air

ChrisB said...

I asked three people, and two of them said it was the lack of a crossing guard at Preston Elementary School.

joshua d said...

me and my family think that cutting down trees is a environmental problem in our community. There is this big woods next to our house and farther down the road there's this really big gap in the woods its a complete mess.

corrnJ said...

people said cutting trees down .

DontrezD said...

I think our communities biggest issue is the trees.The trees is the biggest issue because without trees we would die because trees prevent oxygen and we need oxygen to survive.Thats why I think trees is the biggest issue.

Jhamere E. said...

one of the main problem in my neighborhood is the stray cats an other animals and the stray animals get in the trash

levi j said...

my mom and my cousin think one that it is the pollution in the air from all the cars and my mom says all the stray cats that have kittens so the stray cat thing increases

EstrellaR said...

A lot of people liter around are yard and sometimes we all have to pick it up.At are other house a lot of people liter and w always pick it up.

ZACH H said...

I think the biggest problem in our community is the gas prices because last year gas prices were $1.65. And now they are like $2.65 that is a dollar difference and it went up because of the Economy.

sara b said...

I asked my father and my mother and we think that our biggest problem would be cats because when people move, they leave there cats behind.

Aaliyah W said...

I think littering.I say this cause so
many people do it even though it's bad for the community.Also even t hough people walk pass trash, they never want to pick it up.And then one day the animals that people eat could soon die because they keep eating trash or in the ocean, turtles die from the six pack soda rings.That is the biggest issue in the community.

Katelyn Patrick said...

i think that our biggest prob. is that PEOPLE,throw trash all in our community! Beer bottles, rappers, clothes, plastic, and its just destroying our habitats, and not only us the animals. some of these things kill them because, they get tangled up and stuck, mabey eat something bad, or just get trapped. we should start cleaning up! and more people should care!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Aaliyah W said...

And one solution is to have a group of people to clean up the community and also get people to stop littering, poluting the waters.

Kaitlyn W said...

my community (its really a rural farmer type place) is overpopulated with alot of ferel cats. With 71 one traps set out they caught 31 cats its a problem and the cats need homes and food

LeonjahN said...

A community issue that people care is the pollution in the air and bay to help the pollution in the air we can stop littering and pick up trash. A way that we can help the pollution in the bay is that we can clean the bay!!

jasmine d said...

I think the biggest problem in our community is pollution. We are letting our garbage get into the ocean and bays,which decreases the living organisms in a habitat. This could spell, disaster for this habitat and all the living organisms that live inside it. These animals are dying and that decreases food supply[fish,shrimp,crab] for us. This is a very sad happening on our part. Bad. very Bad. Clean!!:[

De'Asia W said...

I Think that littering is is the community issue because their are candy rapper,pop cycle sticks, and food and other things that i usually see on the ground and people need to start picking up their mess that they make on the ground.

Henry S. said...

Our communities biggest issue is the cost of stuff,people are getting laid off their jobs and companies are closing. So this is putting people in debt.

Darlazia B said...

when i talked to someone at home they said... that the biggest issue that we are having is people littering and polluting. they also said people are getting killed doing drugs on the street.Animals are also being hunted.i can try to stop this by picking up trash around the community and get help for people on the streets to help them to get off the streets.

Mikaela J said...

I think that to many businesses going out like all kinds of gas stations and little shops and other things. They are going out because people cant go there to buy things any more because the lack of money everyone has.

katelyn proper said...

my grandpa said people don't pay builders enough to buy the things like wood,and nails.They need to pay more so they have enough thing to finish the job because sometimes when they don't pay enough he has to use his own money.he's running low because they don't pay enough.

QwanikkaC said...

The biggest issue in my community is that people are buying crack and weed from people in the don't get caught they are really not setting a good example for the little kids,and the teenagers. but when they all see what they was doing then they are going to go home and do what they saw and then there parents will ask them were did u see that at or they are going to say what are you doing and then they are going to get in trouble because of what they seen you do in not there parents i will tell them to not do that because that is not good for the little children

Carli H. said...

I think our communities biggest issue is not paying enough money to our primary products and littering because we are trying to have a nicer environment.And wood fires because the wild animals will not have any homes to live in.

Cheyanne R said...

The communities issue is a lot of pollution being put in the air .For example, there is a party down the street and people could walk there but instead they drive a car down there and guess what they are putting pollution in the air.Another thing is not paying the farmers not enough money and they are running out of money to buy gas for the tractors and other farms tools that use gas.

TylerH said...

I think the biggest issue in my community is littering because theres trash and plastic bags on the side of the road and cars polluting the air and the community also killing animals.

NickW said...

After asking my family and neighborhood what they thought was the biggest issue
in our neighborhood and tallied up the results this is what i got:1.littering. 2.A person was murdered.3.A 10 year old boy went missing and still is(I am 11)=(

bethany dean said...

I talked to my mommom and she said that sh thinks that the biggest problem in our communities is the ammount of carbon dioxside that people are using is a very big problem because there is so much going into the air from factories, cars and more there is so much that not only the animals die from it but some people can to.Like the babies they cant take all the gases.She said that every town and city has this problem and there is a soulution but dont care because they want to go to the malls and all i mean who dosent want to but we can wait or even walk to one near by i know that my grandmother was serious when she told me this because she just had leg surgery and she is stll worried about the enviorment beccause she has hope and we all should!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

monica c said...

the biggest issue in are community is not having enough money to get the materials and supplies people need to live like food. most prices on a lot of things are going up even plastic bags are 5 cents. !WE NEED MONEY!

emmab(choco lover) said...

i think job loss is the communities biggest issue,because they can't earn money to buy food, clothes, and pay bills.it is hard to get another job and it takes a long time.

shyhe aka young dro said...

I would say gas prices and pollution an fires

Jayna T. said...

I think our communities biggest issue is that on the road we live on people drive way too fast. There is a big narrow turn and people spin out of control and cause wrecks.

RaheemH said...

An issue that happens in my community is the population of adults dieing by gunshots,and gangs.

JordanD. said...

The farming.We have alot of farmers where we live...All the fertilizer runs into are river.And they cant stop using fertilizer because,the crops wont grow...And we wont have any vegetables or fruits!:(

KelseyL said...

My parents think that pollution in the marina is the worst community issue. When people "dump" their trash in the marina parks, it could hurt wildlife if they come in contact with the trash and the result hurts them. I think that we should set up trash cans that have a lid (so wildlife can't get get in!) and have roads that people can't drive on and you have to walk or ride a bike etc.

LilyAnderson said...

The liter around the world the way to fix is by stop throwing trash around the world

andrea said...

I think are communities biggest issue is gas and houses because you got to pay bills,rent.also you are paying cereal also they been cutting down trees and they have been also they have been a bunch of fires.

josh R said...

they have been cutting a lot of trees down and thats a big problem

Keri C. said...

The town needs to put down new bigger septic pipes so new companies can open up and provide new jobs therefore lowering the crime rate.

KatelynW said...

I think that littering is a big issue because when I come to school all I see on the roads are beer cans and ciggaret boxes

Jacob S. said...

I think our community issue is agricutural runoff. (When pestiside,fertilizer,etc runs off into the bay and causes pollution.)I think we should use more eviromentally friendly products

Shawne B said...

Our water in my community has too much sulfur in it and all the sulfur in the water makes it not have a good smell it kinda smells like a rotten egg.To help that problem we could get a water tower so we could have better smelling water.

Mark T said...

i think that the H1N1 is a big issue becuase its killing pepole and thats brining down our population.

gsaywuy said...

it is litering

adrielw said...

litering

Madison B said...

i think that people are speeding by too fast! they are going down my street like 60 maybe even up to 75 mph. it is a town street with lots of houses and kids and dogs and cats. and very fast and they are going to hit somebody like a kid or an animal and it would really help if they put some cops on our street and if they caught even one of them they probly would not do it anymore.

Emily P said...

my family and i think that the biggest issue in our community is kids on the streets doing drugs. and there are gang groups doing drugs

JacobH said...

I think my communities biggest issue is people polluting the air. A couple of people in my street burn their trash and one time somebody burned down their neighbors lawn. To stop this I think, they should get a trashcan and take their trash to the dump.

Jordan b said...

In my back yard I keep finding cat poop. Also I keep finding beer cans. Last I keep finding trash on the side walk\ porch.

katelynn s said...

I think the biggest issue is there is not many job choices so people are losing money

Richardson R said...

I think the biggest issue in our community is smoking and littering because smoking can cause health problems and it can cause lung cancer and people around you can get sick by second hand of smoke that mean they are breathing the smoke and they get sick. Littering is A second issue in our community because people can get sick from all those germs coming from the your trash...........

enijahn said...

JonathanG said...

The biggest issue in my environment is pollution because people are polluting the bay.That is killing the fish.Also the cemicals from farmers crops is going into the bay and that is bad.

Joey S. said...

I think the biggest problem in our community is the amount of pollution in Maryland.I live near the marshy hope creek and let me tell you its so dirty you can't even see 2 ft into the water.Last time I went fishing I found a dead fish and didn't catch a thing.The worst part is I've never caught a fish big enough to keep exsept for 1 fish I took home and had it for dinner thats the biggest problem in the community.

Katy said...

barn cats are over populating my neighborhood

EstrellaR said...

I think that our communities biggest issue is that everybody liters a lot. If people liter they will have to pay a fine and then they will loose money and they will loose their house and their job.

mariam.a said...

Eric.H said...

I think our biggest issue with the community is that there is not a lot of jobs to choose from and a lot of people are losing their homes because of it and lots of people are losing there jobs because in some factory are not getting orders in to make.

MatthewS said...

I think the biggest thing is gas and oil all the gas and oil goes up in the air and get in the air and hard to breath because all the gas and oil makes it hard to breath with people at have asthma and it can kill all the people with asthma.

Alexis C said...

I think our biggest community issue is that we don't have allot of trees left because people are cutting most of them down,so that they can build more and more houses.But we also need houses,but i think that the animals that live in trees need a home too,so thats what i think our biggest community issue is.

OliviaN said...

When i talked to my mom about this she said that the biggest issue in the community she said that either pollution or people getting fired and so the people have no money to get food. For example so many people drive cars and don't through away there trash so that is bad for the earth witch the water and the air will go bad if people don't stop or put an end to this the earth will be a bad place to live for animals and people.!!!!

Graham L said...

There is to much litter/trash on the side of the side of the road.

Also the county is not cutting the grass and deer are getting hurt/killed.

LizzyH said...

i think a community issue is people losing their jobs. Not getting paid enough.Less amount of money goes towards farming for crops.

DennisT said...

I think our communities biggest issue is the bay it is polluted and it is killing all of the fish and it is giving diseases to fish. So people eat the fish then all of the people start to die.

Jonathan B said...

The Biggest issue is how much stuff cost, and how people are losing there job.

ElijahR said...

I think that the problem the smell of the chickens farms when they are first cleaned out

Stanley Pierre louis said...

The People in my community care about the loss of jobs.the solution can be for people to talk to the town office and have a town meeting.

Dreama.W. said...

I think our communities biggest issue is pollution and money.

Roberto Z. said...

Most people throw trash and beer bottles on the ground and leave it there and never pick the trash up. One way we could try to solve this problem is to have a town trash clean up day.

armonij said...

the issue in my community is the use by adults and teenagers such has alcohol and pills the adults give it to teenagers and they use it even thought they know its bad for there body and lungs

wuinsdane a. said...

the people in my community care about to many houses being built.killing forest.a solution to this problem is to try and get laws past to stop the over building.

Katlyn C said...

The biggest problem in my communities are that people are throw trash out of the window.When they throw out the window they cane get a fie of 1,000 dollars and it is bad for our camotane.

Nick f said...

I think our communitys issues are people are loseing jobs and houses and pay checks are small

DEBORAH S. said...

i think a big issue in my commuity is littering because people see trash cans and they don't bother to throw their trash away in stead they throw it on the ground so little animals eat the trash and they die because they think it is food.

ashmeirl said...

An issue in my community is the pollution in the waters and its killing most of the animals in the water and most people eat the fish and other wild life in the waters so people should not throw trash in the water

scottW=+- said...

the biggest problem s people cutting down trees for other stuff like homes when we need trees more to get oxygen all that houses give is shelter.....yes houses are nice but trees help us live

Mariah A said...

My community issue is littering beacause i see people throw trash on the grond and dont even care.I also see people walk and look at the trash and dont pick it up.
