basgo+and+solid+waste+conclusion

Basgo planned three ambitious projects that all have their strengths and weaknesses. Their effects on the environment and solid waste problems could be long lasting—either in a positive or negative way. Their desire to aid their community was clear, however, and they obviously were trying to help their town. After thorough research, a conclusion was drawn that some of their plans would succeed, while others would fail.

Their first plan was to further develop and support their population by adding a new housing development. The need arose when summer residents began to move to Basgo year-round. The development would include 150 new single-family homes and two additional condominiums with 40 units each accomodating citizens over the age of 55. Although it was a good idea to make more room for new residents, Basgo’s current state with solid waste doesn’t put them in a good position to expand their community. At the moment, they face several problems with pollution, and it has not been deemed the appropriate time to expand their town. They have problems that they need to fix before moving on to further develop their community.

Basgo’s planners also wished to create a new industrial park to encourage new businesses to move into the town. Olde Mill Paints, their current, and sole, industry already exists at the site of the future industrial park. Like the housing development, this would simply divert their attention from the current problems and create even more. Not only would //new// industries create more problems, but Olde Mill Paints is currently a large producer of solid waste. Therefore, it is not recommended that Basgo builds a new industrial park.

Lastly, Basgo hoped to create a new commercial aquaculture farm in the estuary to raise clams. This idea could possibly help their community and the problems with solid waste. Currently, Basgo is quite dependent upon horse and dairy farms that create a lot of pollution in their environment. Perhaps this aquaculture farm would help Basgo become less dependent upon these pollution-creating farms and encouraged to help their environment in any way possible.

In conclusion, it is recommended that Basgo does not continue their plans to build the development and industrial park, but experiment with the commercial aquaculture farm and other techniques to save their town from being buried in litter.
