Considering Our Impact May 23, 2007

We came to the park to feed the ducks but walked away with a lesson about our impact on the environment. While feeding the ducks, Sadie noticed about 30-40 ‘giant bugs’ (crayfish) floating in the water. Did they die because of all of the litter that was floating on the shore that day as well? That is the assumption we evaluated. Both Sadie and Elijah are very aware of litter and frequently ask if they can pick it up and dispose of it properly. What is the answer when your child asks you why people throw garbage on the ground?
