TIPH Picture Post
The example I chose to document is a picture of a dumpster
that is located in my apartment complex. This is an example of public health
because it provides a method for people to dump their waste into a specific
spot. After trash is taken to this dumpster, it is collected by a garbage
service and transported to a designated site to be managed. This provides a way
for trash to be all in one spot instead of it being out in the open. If it were
out in the open, it would collect bacteria, would be smelly, could infect water
supplies, and could damage ecosystems. It could also cause and spread disease.
People should consider this an example of public health to prevent the spread
of bacteria, disease, and to protect ecosystems. It takes a while for trash to
decompose on its own as opposed to a designated dump site where it is managed.
I chose this example because it is something that I use regularly and helps
greatly to make my living area clean, disease free, and safe from disease.
