Water around the world is in trouble! Every community’s essential water supply is threatened each day by a multitude of sources that can contaminate it. As an essential component of our daily lives, water quality needs to be assessed and addressed now and in the future. For some communities, water appears to be clean, but it is not safe. For others, it is visibly undrinkable. In all cases, water can be polluted both at the source and along the way to our faucets and water fountains.
Nature’s Voice – Our Choice (NVOC) invites students around the world to bring this problem to light for community members and lawmakers. Informing people is the first step in fixing the sources of pollutants to our water resources.
Through posters, stories, poems and video we want students to depict the ‘Life of Troubled Water’ in their community. To participate, we hope educators will take the time to work with students in studying how and where their water may be contaminated. With an informed view of their water, students are urged to submit pictorial, written, or video accounts in the form of drawings/paintings, creative narratives/poems, or video of the journey of a water drop and the pollutants it encounters.
