Newtown Creek Community Health Project: Concerned About Pollution in Your Neighborhood? Attend Info Session (June 16, 7pm)
June 12th, 2009 by EthanA message from the Newtown Creek Alliance:
Attention Residents of Greenpoint, East Williamsburg, and Maspeth:
Are you worried about health problems caused by the pollution in your neighborhood?
Would you like the opportunity to tell your story?
If yes, then you may want to be interviewed for a community health project that aims to document the public health concerns of individuals residing in communities along Newtown Creek in NYC. The study will be conducted by a collaborative team from the Urban Public Health Department of Hunter College/CUNY, HabitatMap, and the Newtown Creek Alliance.
Participation will provide you with an opportunity to have your story documented in your own words. With your permission, the information you disclose will be displayed in written and audio format on a website (www.habitatmap.org) and in a report that will be disseminated to community members, media outlets, elected officials, and other interested parties.
Community involvement is important, make your voice heard!
If you have any questions or are interested in participating, please attend the following info session:
Tuesday, June 16th at 7PM

I am a science teacher at Clara Barton HS in Crown Hts. We teach about water pollution due to factory discharge, but it’s all about a fictional city. I thought we might make it real by learning about pollution in their city. Do you have any information about activities you do, or others might provide?
Thanks
