Tweets From the Field

While participating in Math and Science Day, we microblogged to Twitter from a mobile device. The log has been compiled below. Note the time stamps were set incorrectly for PST – we’ve adjusted here to EST.

EPA volunteers staffed these booths:

• Sunwise - Voting booth for the best State poster about sun safe behaviors plus demonstration about UV light and protecting yourself from sun exposure

• "Getting Bugged about Water Quality" - critters can tell us a lot about the health of a water system see which bugs are indicators of a healthy waterway

• Trash Talk and Spin the Wheel - get creative with common trash items and how you can put them to good use and spin the recycling question wheel and challenge your knowledge of "reduce, reuse and recycle"

• Lung capacity - compete in the lung capacity challenge and learn how air quality impacts every breath we take.

• Pandy Pollution, EPA's environmental education mascot, joins forces with the EPA team at all special events to greet the young, and young at heart,  and teach them about pollution prevention and protecting our earth. Born in Cincinnati, Ohio, Pandy has taught thousands of children and adults about the benefits of environmental awareness.  Pandy has also traveled to our great Capital to spread the good word on "environmental awareness."
