I visited the Waterworks Museum.
The most interesting thing is environmental injustice in MA. In this state, minorities are likely to struggle with water contamination. I learned there is a correlation between unclean water and unclean area. In addition, people from ethnic and low-income groups, who usually do not have political or financial power, tend to live in unclean areas. I think
It is important not only to give minorities accessibility to clean water but also to improve their political and economical abilities. As a result, this change helps minorities deal with poor water situations with their own power.
In addition, what impressed me the most was the Chesnut Hill biological laboratory. This laboratory, established in 1889, is the first one that started to research the health issues caused by water in the United States. George Whipper, working for this lab, found that small organism that is harmful to the human body by examining rivers and lakes with microscopes. I was surprised that the research of water-related diseases was started about 130 years ago in America. At the same time, I was shocked that even though it’s been a long time, this issue is not solved in many developing countries.
