The reason I am doing new york city as my Story Map Project is because I have family in New York. My aunt lives in new York and only sometimes she can come over to Pennsylvania to visit. She lives in Brooklyn and I went to visit her about 3 years ago. Another Reason I picked New York was because it was the only place where I took professional photos of it.
I took this photo of my aunt 3 years ago in central park.

Some gardens in New York.
Though the Greenery of New York is very good,it's still pretty trashy,literally. New York is known for their very trashy and dirty city. Only about 17 percent of garbage is recycled, it has the highest amount of garbage in the landfill per year, and the most energy used with the equivalent of one oil supertanker every 1.5 days.
