Public Education Committee

Mission:

Provide and promote resources and strategies for educating the public on water quality issues. Our objective is to get people involved in the education process about water quality. By working with our own members, community organizations, schools, civic groups and local decision makers, we positively influence important groups that present vast opportunities for public education.

The Adopt-A-School Program:

Developed in order to provide schools with good, accurate curriculum on water pollution prevention. For a cost of approximately $60 an organization or business can adopt-a-school and provide this curriculum to the school of their choice. Our goal is to follow-up each presentation with a press release to provide positive exposure for the sponsor and the program.

If you would like to Adopt-A-School in your community contact Committee Chair Mike Schober via email.

Activities:

The Public Education Committee has participated as an exhibitor at the Berks County Earth Day celebrations in 1998, 1999, and 2000 held in the City of Reading.
