Service Learning Wednesdays

The Grades 4-5-6 girls have Service Learning Class on Wednesdays. The classes offered this quarter are Aquaponic and "Plant Your Butts Here!"
 They assembled the sun light for the aquaponic garden and planted some collard greens for Tchai.
 Making a terrarium.

 Building another garden!  A phytopod!

 These girls walk the neighborhood and clean out all of the butt planters. They also make new planters to replace old ones or to place in problem areas.

How much Food Waste? [Voice Thread]

August Adopt a Block 2012

Do you know about Non-Source Point pollution?

Whether you have a stream running through your backyard, business, local school or park, protecting it is a good idea. Many property owners upstream may not realize that what they do on their land impacts other residents and water quality downstream. Every day pollutants such as trash, yard waste (e.g., grass clippings, leaves, prunings, or fruits), paint, construction debris (e.g., stockpiles of soil, sand, or gravel), used motor oil, fertilizers and pesticides, and dog waste reach our urban streams. Trash on stream banks are unsightly and unsanitary for humans and wildlife. Even organic materials such as yard waste are unacceptable to dump along streams banks. When these materials get into the stream cycle, they decompose and eliminate critical, life-giving oxygen from the water. As a result, streams become unsightly and emit foul odors.
