The Debate Over Bottled Water
In keeping with this week's theme, Issues Facing our Environment (culminating in our Earth Day assembly tomorrow), the 6th grade students discussed and debated America's obsession with bottled water. Students watched a short video on the benefits of bottled water, produced by the International Bottle Water Association as well as short video entitled, "The Story of Bottled Water," produced by environmental activist, Annie Leonard.
