This year’s week-long Earth Day events were orchestrated by Kathy Bates, Environmental Health and Water Quality Technology instructor at the Mequon Campus. From water to land to food, students had the opportunity to mix with a variety of organizations and vendors representing our state’s environmental diversity.
Standout documentaries, “Blue Gold: World Water Wars” and “Food, Inc.” were screened in the evenings, and Bates led a book discussion for “Cradle to Cradle” by William McDonough and Michael Braungart.
A sampling of a few of the week’s noted visitors were: Ozaukee County Fish Passage, Southeastern Wisconsin Watersheds Trust, Comet Cafe, Community Supported Agriculture and Wellspring.
