Mr.T Director Fairfax County Recycling Center 4618 West Ox Rd, Fairfax, VA 22030 Dear Mr. T., Thank you for hiring me to help out with the Fairfax County Recycling Center. Ive been involved in this business for 3 years now and have my company in North Carolina. I have worked for many other counties/districts and i am very excited to work with you. I have been thinking very thoughtfully through this and have come to a conclusion how to redesign the recycling process in Fairfax County to increase revenue and efficiency. With only using a couple of materials I have found an easy way to make this work. First, with a long conveyor belt with powerful magnets and crushing material on it you will pick up the steel cans because it's the only material…

Furthermore, more people will become overweight, or obese. In Addition, the grade average will decline. Why brand our country more inferior…

One thing that really shocked me about this project was to see how much history is right around the corner from where I lived. In my early childhood, I used to pass the Fairfax Courthouse all the time on my way to school. I never really gave much thought to the meaning behind the courthouse, though, six-year old me thought the shiny cannons were pretty cool. Visiting the courthouse ten years later was the first chance I got to grasp the significance of the site. The Historic Fairfax County…

that do not have a day off. Police officers provide law enforcement service 24/7 including holidays and severe weather storm. Officers have been serving the people since the establishment of law enforcement in 1635 in Boston (Important dates in the law enforcement history. April 2014). Ever since, the United States has expanded its law enforcement departments to wide range, from federal to local law enforcement.

This sum includes purchasing 27 new buses and hiring the new bus drivers. While this may seem as a small sum for such a large county, Fairfax County Public Schools are currently facing a deficit of over $14 million, and are expected to see a deficit of over $100 million in the 2016-2017 fiscal year (“FY”). This means that pushing back school start times accounts for nearly 5% of the downfall, leading to teacher being laid off and extracurricular activities being cut. Another reason pushing back…

There’s a student acrostic poem that I have heard in the past for the word school; “Seven Crappy Hours of Our Lives.” It’s not a very appropriate saying, but I can comprehend the feelings of its creator. Imagine school felt long enough only to get another hour and a half added. I believe the way classes are distributed is reasonable, so how would adding another hour function? A longer school day would just mean complicated compromises and sacrifices would have to be made, students who dislike…

City-states of the ancient world were one of the first political entities with democratic governance. Part of the democratic process is authorizing individuals to make decisions, holding these individuals accountable, and for these individual to be responsive to the needs of the community (Pitkin, 1957).
