prior to attending the trip i read the New York Times "Wall-E park" article and found out that that area was covered in high mounds of trash, and later found out on the trip that instead of one mound there were four of them.... fortunately for us and future generations, James Corner, the landscape architect best known in New York as the designer of the High Line (nytimes).. has yet since taken over fresh kills after garbage was banned from the area and has since been in the process of turning the 2,315 acres of open space, in to a multipurpose, park one said to be larger than the widely known central park..
on this tour not only did i learn about how they covered the already decomposing garbage and that the government recycles and reuses its gases.. and uses it as fuel.. in addition to the extensive measures they have to go through in order to cover the waste and the gas wells used to collect gas released through vacuum system in order to be purified(site tour guide).

i thought this trip held great significance mainly because i was getting to see fresh kills in the making of what it is to become.. and in the future when hearing about it in the news or reading about it in the years to come .. i can always think back to the time when i was able to see it all before it became a reality..
