Field Trip: Methane to Megawatts |
|
With the success of Urban Go-Team and the Pulitzer ambassador trip to Washington, DC, we have planned more ActiveCitizen360 field trips for this year. Among our interests are jobs and issues related to energy and the environment. Thus our field trip on Saturday, October 3 (9:00 AM - 11:30 AM) to the Fred Weber Quarry and Landfill to see Trash being converted to Methane being converted to Megawatts.
You can check out two videos below for more information:
Special thanks to Christine Marshall of John Burroughs School for bringing this resource to our attention and Genevieve Bodnar, environmental manager at Fred Weber for sharing her knowledge and resources with us.
You must register in advance for this field trip. To sign up, click here. We will send a permission form to all parents.

We have a very important GoToMeeting for Pulitzer Ambassadors this evening (Tuesday, September 15), from 7:00 PM - 7:30 PM. Ambassadors should have received separate invitations to the meeting with the correct link to enter the on-line meeting.
We have much to do between now and the arrival of journalists Fred de Sam Lazaro and Sharon Schmickle, so please make time to fulfill your responsibilities.
