You Can Teach Water Pollution

Water pollution in the Anacostia River is caused by run-off. Run-off is anything that “runs-off” into the river from the land, and in the National Capital Region or the DMV (Washington DC, Maryland, and Virginia) there is a lack of education about this. There are a little over 30 programs in the National Capital Region that teach grade school students about run-off causing water pollution in their watershed. This is truly a disappointment towards the National Capital Region educational purposes. Water pollution education should be one of the biggest priorities in the National Capital Region government attempt to make a better America. Our government should at least spend a quarter of the amount of our taxes on water pollution education, because the biggest way to stop something is providing knowledge that shows students how to stop it.

In Conclusion My name is Darren Timothy McIntyre Junior, and I am an “Urban Fly PR” employee that didn’t know anything about water pollution until spending three weeks interning at Living Classrooms, a program in the National Capital Region that teaches water pollution education. I didn’t know anything about “run-offs” causing water pollution in the Anacostia River until my internship. This internship converted my mind to preventing water pollution from happening and sharing my knowledge about the water pollution in Anacostia River to other peers around me. The education I received at Living Classrooms was an example of increasing the percentage towards water pollution education, and I believe that other child that receives this education would lower the percentage of water pollution even more. Im Darren Timothy McIntyre Jr and I approve this message.
