Recently, I attended the Big E. The Big E is The Eastern States Exposition, which is a large fair in Massachusetts. It is the sixth largest agricultural fair in the county, and the largest in New England. This fair draws large crowds, people from all over the country, who want to walk the 175 acre fair, eat the food, and participate in any of the other types of entertainment. Due to the immense amount of people (nearly one million people!), you can just imagine how much littering, pollution from smoke, and other types of environmentally harming behavior that occurs at this one event.
In previous years, The Big E did not have any means of recycling the many cans and containers for food. There were just large trash cans placed everywhere.
However, this year, The Big E has tried to become a little more green and more friendly, placing recycling bins at certain areas, along with the garbage cans, giving a people a chance to recycle if they wish.
They have a bit of work to do, because there are still issues in the bathrooms and in restaurants.
