Barnegat Students Tackling Big Issues, One Street At A Time By Kimberly Bosco BARNEGAT – Making a difference can start with just one person; or perhaps, one street. Spearheaded by two Barnegat students, the “Adopt a Street” program has been cleaning up township streets to create a more eco-friendly town, one street at a time. At the July 2 township committee meeting, Barnegat students Norah Hansen and Jenna Marcy detailed their plan to clean up Barnegat with “Adopt A Street,” with the help of Lillian M. Dunfee School Counselor Michele Cucinotta. Hansen and Marcy are both incoming freshmen at Barnegat High School. Hansen opened up the presentation with an alarming statistic: “Did you know that around 93 percent of the world’s children under 15 years old breathe air that is so polluted that it puts their health and development in danger?” She cited the World Health Organization which estimates that 600,000 children died of respiratory diseases in 2016, all due to polluted air. These figures inspired Hansen and Marcy to make a change for the better. (Students - See Page 5)
