Jennifer Bombardier is a part of the Lower East Side Ecology Center, contributing to green infrastructure, and changes for water preservation and cleaning. She claims that water is essential for everything, recreation, drinking, cooking, and many other daily activities. Toxic waste is commonly, illegally, dumped into our waterways, harming both humans and animals. Heating and cooling systems in buildings are major contributors to global warming because of how much fossil fuels they produce.
Rain and waste water are being stored in the same areas, polluting the rain water that could have been cleaned and turned into drinking water. People should try and conserve water as much as possible, especially when it rains.
