ATLANTA — Students at 15 Atlanta-area schools will participate in a unique water measurement activity as part of a new partnership between the National Environmental Education Foundation, Atlanta Public Schools, businesses and nonprofits, according to a press release.
“Be Water Wise Atlanta,” a project of the National Environmental Education Foundation, includes math, science and language activities focused on water conservation at school and at home, the release stated.
“The City of Atlanta is no stranger to water issues that threaten to harm our community and our environment. The fact that our children are taking action to bring awareness to this issue should serve as a lesson to all of us. We have made progress in light of recent droughts in the Atlanta area, but there is certainly room for improvement,” said Atlanta Mayor Kasim Reed.
“We are proud to take part in Be Water Wise Atlanta as we seek to empower our students with the knowledge to make wise choices with our water resources,” Reed added.
