List of Reports

Description: Trash left on the side of the road. A mop, an old torn up grass bag, a diaper box, a bucket, a worn out tire, and a few other pieces of trash. This trash should not be there because it is an illegal dumping site. This trash could also have a negative effect on the wildlife living just outside the city.

Description: According to statecancerprofiles.cancer.gov the Imperial Valley's current skin cancer diagnosis is considered stable. Within the last year, only 13 people have been diagnosed with Melanoma of the skin (skin cancer). From personal experience, the valley's hot weather, along with the sun beating down on the residents, makes my skin feel dry and darker. Though sun screen is a precaution for skin cancer, it sometimes refuses to protect the user. In order for the victim to feel a bit of their pain lessen, there are at least four natural/ home remedies to help. Raspberry seed oil, myrrh oil, eggplant extract, and frankincense oil. According to Mayo Clinic, some of the symptoms of a sun burn are the following: flakiness, peeling, rashes, roughness, warmness, red spots, or redness. Many people of the valley have experienced these symptoms, and may be at risk of having skin cancer at some point of their lives. It is recommended to stay indoors from 10 A.M. to 4 P. M., but everyone has duties outside of their homes. Sun screen with SPF over 35, sunglasses, and hats should be worn at all times during the summer, because of the sun that is beating down on the people. The sun is very harsh on people with lighter skin, so they are at risk the most of skin cancer.

Description: The New River (also known as the most polluted river in America) is contaminated due to BM and trash coming from the Mexicali and U.S. In Brawley, California they bump trash there was an old sofa, burnt wood, and along the river there is trash. There is also a bad smell. I have also learned that the government is not going to do any funding to clean the river. In Calexico residents claim to get head aches, rashes, and dizziness from the pollution. We need to clean the river up.

Description: While driving down the road I noticed a pile tires and other trash being left on the side of the canal (even inside as well). The tires have been there for a while as I could tell because they were full of dirt and mud. This is not good for the water in the canal nor the wildlife in or out of the canal. I found two areas that had tires but the one on the map had the most. After leaving the site with the tires along the road I saw a lot of dumping along the canal, I did not get a lot of pictures of the trash along the canal I did get one. I am reporting this in hope of the City of Brawley to send someone to clean up this canal.
