a lot of people believe that those little blue bins where we put to paper, plastic, etc actually go to a recycling facility and get reproduced. the truth is if you go and check out the alleys in downtown Columbia that is where you will find all of the stuff you have thrown in those bins. the city of Columbia's recycling program is a lie and actually hurts our city and communities' health more than it helps.

Tons and tons of trash on the highways. Ranging from little trash to things like couches falling of cars. We need more highway cleaning to go on. Maybe shut down the highways depending on the trash and clean it then open it back up.

Finding more people to adopt horses or buy them off out of slaughter houses. A lot of these horses are perfectly healthy yet they die because of land issues. Another option could be talkin to the government about giving wild horses their land back.

Columbia has been facing a rise in gun violence and homicides in neighborhoods and rural areas. This mass violence has caused many innocent bystanders to lose their lives or face serious lifelong injuries and trauma. We need to take action to make a change in owning and having possession of firearms and need to dig deeper into the root of the situation so we can help individuals who are tempted to use gun violence to harm people.

better food and more tech for public schools

# data[].attributes.body
public schools compared to private are very different. the private schools now a days are more like collage and public are getting worse in some places and the food quality needs to get better so kids dont go hungry and develop bad eating habits.

Academic attainment in CPS is abysmal. I would postulate that one reason for this is lack of awareness of opportunities offered by the school system. Helping our students academically will help them in the future. Furthermore, better scores on standardized tests will allow for more opportunities for the school to improve itself, thereby allowing for an even better education.

Homicide rates in Columbia have increased greatly over the last few years and something needs to be done to stop this. We need to increase funds and the stability in neighborhoods where most violence happens to stop the violence at its root cause.

There are a lot of starving people in Columbia and when charities donate food, there's going to be food thrown away, there should be ways to give out the extra food from food pantries to people who need it.

There is trash all around not just RBHS alone but all of Columbia. It is incredibly bad for the environment and it will only get worse if something doesn't change. The solution would be add more trashcans so they stop overflowing, inform more people, and reduce the amount of plastic used for lunches

# data[].attributes.body
I think that we are in need of more acknowledgment of it. taking more about what others are going through and more ways to handle it.

# data[].attributes.body
Many student do not have good mental health and need ways to cope in a healthy way. Some teens resort to alcohol or drugs which hurts them more in the long run. We need to be more open about our issues.

# data[].attributes.body
We need more help in that area because there are a lot of people who are dealing with mental health and there are too scared to tell someone so they keep it to their self instead of getting help.

People need to be aware just how dangerous texting while driving is and the amount of accidents it causes. As high schoolers reach the driving age, they need to know the risks of texting and driving to make good decisions.

Rock bridge has trash around the campus. It makes custodians work harder and have to make them do more work. Students need to be more responsible about there decisions of leaving trash around the school its also not healthy for our city and community.

It's been nearly a year and whenever a band or choir or orchestra concert happens we use that bathroom as our changing room so it would be nice to have stalls that we could change in with a bit more privacy

Boy's are very dirty. With hundreds of males in the building all sharing the same 6-7 bathrooms, they will be dirty. Some more than others. Rock Bridge has to hire more staff to help keep the bathrooms clean throughout the day.

Several roads in Columbia are rough and narrow. They are full of potholes and leave no extra room for drivers in the case of an obstacle on the road. We need to increase the funding for our roads so that they can be patched/repaved and widened.

As you walk through RBSP, you can see trash throughout the park. Anything from plastic bags to Styrofoam cups. This is damaging to the plant life, and wildlife in the park.

Road conditions in Columbia are often less that ideal. This can cause unneeded stress on travelers as they have to worry about additional costs to their car, avoiding hazardous conditions, and possibility for more accidents
