In an effort to lift ideas for environmental justice we took a look at what makes an environment positive... How do we make the concrete park a space for play as it competes with negative influences...? This was the beginning of our journey.. This is Tompkinsville Park... and  our strategy was a youth takeover and the power of play.

Four a.m. in the hood 


As pollution fills the air,
 I feel the cold wind as it passes by my skin 
As I open my window I hear sanitation trucks
 and I can smell the stench of the garbage and the grinding of the compactor 
I can also see the smoke going off into the air.
This is how pollution is caused at 4am in the hood
.
