Teachers! 🍎Creating a more sustainable future begins with educating our youth on the habits of sustainability.
With her LWD Teacher Grant, Capri Elementary kindergarten teacher Nancy Jois brought her students on tours of the wastewater district and the local watershed, where they learned about the importance of protecting their environment through good sustainable habits, like no wipes down the wipes.
UC San Diego is working on the frontlines of COVID-19 by investigating the importance of testing wastewater and what happens when trace amounts of the virus are found. UCSD has invited students, faculty, and staff to submit their questions about how COVID-19 is detected in wastewater and how it is used to track the virus.
On Saturday October 24th from 10am-2pm, turn in prescription drugs safely and anonymously for The DEA's National Prescription Drug Take Back Day.
Even though it starts with a "P", Prescriptions are not one of the 3 P's that belong in your toilet. Prescription drugs aren't always broken down in the treatment system, and the compounds can end up in the ocean if flushed. Exposure to even low levels of drugs has negative effects on fish and other aquatic species, and also may negatively affect human health.
Today, try to Imagine a Day Without Water. This national education campaign is the sixth annual day to raise awareness and educate America about the value of water.
No water to drink, or wash your hands with. No water to shower, flush the toilet, or do laundry. Hospitals would close without water. Firefighters couldn't put out fires and farmers couldn't water their crops. Disease would spread.
