Janet, I’ll be interested to hear what your kids think about the water testing. The kit contains enough material to test more than one location so you can check out a local creek or pond too. Maybe you can test near some of the mountain top removal going on in your area then submit the data.

This is very cool. We had the health department come out and test our well about 4 years ago. I’ll get this kit and see if anything’s changed. (We need a filter and haven’t gotten one yet – we have some bad thing in there from the fact that we can’t keep ground water out of the well or something.) It will be fun for the kids to do.

Thanks for commenting Carole. Is your test kit in the mail yet?

This is so important! Thank you for sharing. Water monitoring can be an early warning signal of future problems. Plus, I think it would be very enlightening for us to see exactly what is in our water. Maybe it would make people think twice about doing things that damage water quality.It’s up to each of us to make healthy decisions.
