water conservation field trip

I went with Jacob's class on a field trip where they were supposed to learn about water conservation.  Turns out, they learned a little about conservation and a little about a lot of other things!  I have to say I was most impressed with the "garbage" booth.  Did you know your garbage gets burned and turned into electricity?  Did you know that 11 truckloads of garbage turns into 1 standard dump truck load of ash?  Pretty cool stuff to know!  We also learned about different water bugs and the kids got to play with them.  We saw a live owl and learned about birds.  We learned about keeping storm drains clean and how we get clean drinking water.  This was a pretty awesome little field trip.
