After the Bell: Making a community information guide about nonpoint source pollution

by: Daniel Ness and Stephen J. Farenga

A good slogan to introduce this project is “think globally, act locally.” The purpose of the project is to inform students that the actions they take at home may have a far-reaching effect. The assignment will help to create community awareness and involvement by developing environmentally friendly habits. To achieve this goal, students will complete a comparison chart and create an information guide that looks at their homes as a microcosm of what may be occurring in the larger environment.
