Youth in Action: Students Develop Water-Wise Project for School Garden

Earth Echo International collaborates with students from the Environmental Charter School in Inglewood, California, to address water conservation through a student-led project. The school integrates environmental issues into its curriculum, encouraging students to engage with their community. The sixth graders developed a mobile drip irrigation system to address water scarcity, a significant issue due to California's drought. The project aims to efficiently water the school's gardens, saving time and resources. Students designed a portable system that collects rainwater and can be moved easily, reducing the need for long hoses. The initiative not only conserves water but also provides practical learning and community service opportunities.
