Dear Editor,

I am in fifth grade, I go to Park Tudor and my name is Brooke Hasler. I am doing a project in science where you have to pick an environmental problem and try to help solve the problem. I picked graffiti in Broad Ripple. I picked this topic because when I go to Broad Ripple I see so much graffiti. It makes me mad that people do that for no reason. It makes buildings look ugly and that makes substandard business for that store and that is not fair. They didn't do the graffiti, someone else did. For example you are biking through Broad Ripple on a beautiful sunny day. You stop at Ben and Jerry's to get some ice cream, then quickly start biking again because you don't want to miss anything. Enjoying your ride home and then you see it everywhere, graffiti. Then just looking at it totally ruins your daily ride through Broad Ripple. All you can think about is why anyone would do that. Please help stop graffiti. Help me, Help you, Help Broad Ripple Too.
