This is a trash can located in Downtown Athens just outside The Grill. It is an example of health because it is there for the public to throw trash away instead of littering therefore keeping the streets cleaner and healthy for everyone. I chose this example because it is typically looked over and yet it is an important part of keeping our environment healthy. It is important that others recognize this as a part of keeping us healthy because without it trash would line the streets breading bacteria and germs causing more illnesses.
Before reading this, I didn't even think of a trash can when I thought of public health. However, Julia makes a great point, a trash can has a huge impact on public health. Trash cans play a huge roll in keeping the environment clean and beautiful. Without trash cans, bacteria would be everywhere and more people would get sick.
