What is Project S.C.A.T.?


IN OUR OWN WORDS - What is Project S.C.A.T.?
Please read the following entries and comment below. Please tell us which passage explains the project best, and we will post it on the front page of our wiki. Thank you!

In my thoughts Project S.C.A.T. is a solution to solving our town's problem with Trinity. If you happen to not know what Trinity is, it is a Texas based company that polluted, got caught and left. Although Trinity found selling the plant a quick fix, it was not. Trinity was caught and fined. Although they were ordered to clean the ground, they got lucky. A company bought the land and scrapped the place. Trinity no longer owned the ground. Trinity took action by suing Commerce Park, and now two years later nothing is done.

Hi! I'm Nick. I am going to tell you about our Project S.C.A.T. I bet you are wondering what S.C.A.T means. Project S.C.A.T means Stop Contamination at Trinity. We are trying to get Trinity to clean up the area. They used to make steel cars. Trinity used all kinds of chemicals like asbestos. Commerce Park bought Trinity. They did a demolition. During the demolition, Commerce Park released hazardous materials. So we are trying to get them to clean up all the hazardous materials. Well that's all I am going to tell you. Bye!

What is project S.C.A.T.? Project S.C.A.T. stands for Stop Contamination At Trinity. Our class is doing a project on Trinity. Trinity is a place that is filled with chemicals. Trinity used to be a train factory. Now Trinity has decayed and now they are tearing things down. It is a hazardous waste fill that people can get very sick from the chemicals. There are so many bad chemicals that can cause cancer. Trinity was sued for having hazardous chemicals on the property. They were sued by Commerce Park and Commerce Park said, they were nor aloud to go on Trinity. So if they're not aloud to go on the property how are they going to clean it up?

When I heard of Project Lemonade, we started Project S.C.A.T which stands for stop contamination at Trinity. Trinity was a train car factory. Chemicals and oils from the machines went into the ground. Then Commerce Park bought the site from Trinity. They knocked the buildings down and asbestos went into the ground and now there's just a bunch of waste in the ground. Good Bye.

By: Casey
Project S.C.A.T. is for Project Lemonade. We chose to do it on Trinity. We were supposed to pick something wrong in our town and then try to fix it. We named it Project S.C.A.T. Stop Contamination at Trinity. Trinity is a company that made train parts. Trinity sold the proper to Commerce Park. Their buildings had hazardous waste. When they knocked down the buildings, the waste was put in the ground. Trinity piled it with more dirt. They ran off to Texas thinking no one would notice. The noticed and went to court several times. They haven't started to clean it up. So we are trying to get them to clean it up.

By: Paige
What is Project S.C.A.T. you ask? Well first off, Project S.C.A.T. does not actually mean "scat." It means (or stands for) Stop Contamination at Trinity. Second, Trinity is a place near our school where they used to build trains. They also painted trains there. Inside the paint were chemicals that are very harmful. We are trying to get Trinity and Commerce Park to come to an agreement and clean it up. Third, Commerce Park bought Trinity. Trinity had to go to court because they put harmful chemicals in the ground. Trinity was told to clean it all up and dispose of the chemicals properly. Guess what else! Commerce Park won't allow Trinity to come on the land to check how dangerous the chemicals are. It may just be me, but I think that's a little childish. Trinity was trying to cooperate. Anyway, that was solved a few days ago. Lastly, you should know we are not the only ones who want this thing to be over with. There are a group of Greenvillers that also want this. We hope to talk to them and get their point of view. We also hope by the time we are done, this whole thing will be solved, and Trinity will get cleaned up.

Project S.C.A.T. is a bunch of students trying to get people to clean up Trinity. We're trying to get people to clean up Trinity because it's killing things. Trinity has toxic stuff. Trinity (the company) is now in Texas, but Trinity the place is not a fun place to be. So that is what Project S.C.A.T. is.

By: Robb
Hi I am Robb. I am going to tell you about Project S.C.A.T. Project S.C.A.T. stands for Stop Contamination at Trinity. You are probably wondering what Is Trinity? Well, Trinity is a company that made steel train cars. Trinity sold the property to a park and now the park is knocking down buildings that were there when Trinity owned the property. What is wrong with knocking down the buildings is that there are cancer causing chemicals inside of them. When they knock down the building they are releasing the chemicals that were inside the buildings. Now Trinity is going to court with The park to see who will clean up the mess at the property.

Project S.C.A.T is a project that was formed to help clean the wastes that were left from the Trinity site. The Cyber Chickens were the first to form project S.C.A.T. We formed it because of Alex's Lemonade Stand which was a project formed
by Alex to help stop cancer by raising money. The main idea of all the projects some people are doing is to help raise money or awareness to help stop problems in their town. We hope you support project S.C.A.T!

Project S.C.A.T is the project that we are doing for Project Lemonade. It stands for Stop Contamination At Trinity. The goal is to get pe
ople to make Trinity and Commerce Park clean up all the chemicals at the North Plant. We are first going to research a couple of different subjects about Trinity. They are the court cases, the toxic wastes and chemicals they dumped, the history of North Park and the future of what could happen. Then we will make a plan to speed up the clean up at Trinity and put it into action.

Project S.C.A.T is a slogan to stop contamination at trinity. Maybe the word can get out. Also, maybe they will stop putting these chemicals into the air. If they don't, these chemicals will drift into the air and make people sick! Well, I hope you learned something about project S.C.A.T.

Just tuning in to this project and hoping that it's going along well. I find many of these posts give a clear message about your project; I couldn't pick just one. I do think if you read the posts again, you could gather a great front page by combining information from each of the posts. More heads are better than one sometimes.

So sad!

Fifteen years later, the property that housed Trinity Industries, the property that provided so many jobs for the people in Greenville...tha...
