On a mission for sustainability
Authored By:
Today was a very eye opening day for many of our kiddos!
The focus of today was on water--how to purify it, how to harvest it, how to keep our Earth producing it! This morning the staff at Project Lavender walked us through their efforts to provide clean water to the residents of La Colorada, the surrounding town. We visited a few homes and learned about water filtration, cisterns, and their efforts to create a more sustainable method to keep our planet clean. We even learned about dry latrines and natural gas made from animal waste! It was fascinating (and surprisingly not stinky)!
In the afternoon we practiced our abilities to express gratitude in Spanish. Since tomorrow is our last day at Project Lavender, we know that we will be thanking a lot of people tomorrow for their time and cariño these past few days!
