The ECO Club had a very special guest speaker visit at
our latest ECO club meeting on Feb. 19th. Our guest speaker, Myrica,
taught us many things about our environment. She spoke about water and
different ways to save water. Myrica also told us some important information
about water treatment systems. We had the chance to taste test different types
of water and also to become mini water testers. Did you know that water can
have different acidity levels?
Myrica had a discussion with our ECO Club about recycling,
reducing, and reusing. She gave us the challenge to sort different materials
into recycling, garbage, compost, and hazardous waste categories.
Myrica, also shared information with us about how items
(like cans) are recycled and the energy required to recycle.
We think the highlight of her presentation was when she
showed us a cockroach and explained their role in composting!
The Earl Beatty Eco Club wants to say a BIG thank you to
Myrica for taking the time to come and visit us. We really learned a lot and
enjoyed her experiments and presentation!!
