During the school year students accompanied by a science teacher regularly tour the neighborhoods bordering the Mississippi River to paint these signs on storm sewers. Community service at its best, begun at an early age!

Fortunately we are all slowly getting - more or less - sensitive to ecology!
ReplyDeleteVery good to be reminded of where our water goes.
ReplyDeleteThanks too for your frequent visits.

I love the shot - especially enlarged. The texture of the asphalt is very nice.
ReplyDeleteGiving children a chance to do something important in their neighborhood are lessons well learned. Bravo for the teacher.
ReplyDeleteThat's just great! Lovely photo too. Water is so precious.
ReplyDeleteHa! I have a similar shot of the street drain markers down here our part of Florida. Our section of the intracoastal waterway is officially the Indian River Lagoon, but everybody just calls it "the river."
ReplyDeleteNice pic.
What a great idea and a great teacher. Educate them young and they are good for life. Nice ecology shot.
ReplyDeletekate, interesting shot and message!
ReplyDeleteYou tell me some students were on their way to Madrid? it's very hot here right now! but i guess they're going to have a great time! :)
by the way, i'm posting some pics of my last week journey
This is the way to go - kids learn by doing!!!
ReplyDeleteKids are so much more aware of the environment now than when I was at school.
Good idea - great to see such environmental concern
ReplyDeleteA geography lesson as well as an ecology one. Very pro community activity.
ReplyDeleteI'm pleased you like the new header on my blog. Like lots of women, everynow and again I just want to replace something old with something new (or different).
we have signs similar to this, except its in Hawaiian - I should photograph it one day to show you - its very similar in design. =)
ReplyDeleteThis is wonderful Kate, I'm delighted!
ReplyDeleteThis is a wonderful idea which helps the community and more importantly installs a since of community participation in the children. These young people may take these lessons learned and expand them to many great contributions over their life time ... bravo.
ReplyDeleteIt's a good reminder. Hope the message really gets through to people :-)
