Cleaner Beaches

What problem would you like to solve?

The problem that we would like to solve is making New York City beaches cleaner.

Why is it important to solve? Why is it relevant for the community?

This is important to solve because beaches are a summer activity, where New Yorkers and tourists gather to soak up the sun. But with so many people going to beaches, it makes it difficult to keep beaches clean, which affects the residents who live near the beaches. Residents begin to complain about the trash piled up and the rats who start infesting the neighborhoods. 

What idea do you have to address the problem?

An idea to combat this issue is sending DOS workers to beaches to perform weekly cleanups on the beaches and boardwalks. 

Who would that help?

This would help residents who live near the beach and beachgoers. 

What NYC borough would benefit from your idea?

All boroughs would benefit from this idea.
