Help me give my students two rain barrels to learn about water conservation
FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Stark's classroom raised $257
This project is fully funded
My Project
At my middle school, I oversee the "Planet Earth Club," an after school club dedicated to discussing sustainability and environmental issues, organizing field trips, and spearheading our flagship initiative, the school garden. This year, we received a generous donation of garden beds filled with succulents and native California plants. However, facing the challenge of limited access to water lines, we devised a solution: utilizing water barrels to establish irrigation systems.
This endeavor not only fosters hands-on learning but also underscores the importance of rainwater conservation, particularly in the context of California's recurring droughts.
By harnessing rainwater in these water barrels to nourish our garden, we will impart valuable lessons in resource stewardship and environmental responsibility to our students.
Amidst California's pressing environmental concerns, such as droughts, it's imperative to instill a sense of duty and advocacy in the next generation. Educating our future scientists, politicians, and leaders about our planet's challenges equips them to champion meaningful change. Thank you in advance for your donations to this project. Your support doesn’t go unnoticed.
