Bench Rest

Our group chose to place our sticker on a Campus Lodge bench located on the corner of Livingston Ave and Bearss Ave because the bench highlights many issues in Public Health. For example, the bench promotes health through encouraging exercise. After a long walk or bike ride, the bench allows the individual to take a breather, lowering chances of passing out from exhaustion.  It makes a terrific place for morning joggers from the various apartment complexes in the area to rest if needed during their workout. In addition, many of those that have cars and decide to take the bus do not have to drive to campus. Since this intersection is very close to the USF campus it also encourages people to walk to campus or take the bus instead of driving gas guzzling cars. As a result, less harmful fumes are let into the air that we breathe. This is important because in the society we live today there are all sorts of health issues that are on the rise partly due to the lack of psychical activity including obesity and heart disease. Not to mention it promotes cleaner, healthier air by being conveniently located next to a bus stop.
Group Members: Nushaye Elliott, Jessica Smith, Guerdy St. Victor and Caprecia Wilson
