Hi. My name is John. I'm here to talk about Aunt Dona. Aunt Dona brought an Enviroscape. An Enviroscape is like a model of the land. Aunt Dona showed us what should go in and out of the storm drain. What should go in the storm drain is and only water. What should not go in the storm drain are: trash, fertilizer, oil, and grass clipping. She also taught us about the places that clean the Mississippi River water and helps keep the water reusable. Aunt Dona works for the place that cleans the water.
The Gulf of Mexico has a huge dead spot. It is a place in the water
that has nothing but garbage! This was caused by the pollution from the
Mississippi River! We used the Enviroscape to show what humans do to
affect the water and land around us. We put pollution, oil, grass
clippings, and more on the Enviroscape and then we made the water cycle
happen! It rained and the rain pushed all the oil, grass clippings and
trash into the storm drain that went out to the Mississippi River! This
is how it gets polluted! We have to stop polluting or littering
because then the Mississippi water can stop being polluted. Then the
dead spot in the Gulf of Mexico can stop growing!
