Tell the students that a growing economy on a shrinking planet has no future.

Good idea but why is the sun reacting so weirdly and how is it effecting the change of climate as well as weather?

I work with a state funded program to provide replacement water supplies to individuals affected by drinking water contamination. The teacher has asked me to talk to her students about drinking water issues in their area and how the state agency is addressing them. She brings me in after they have completed a science model where they investigate groundwater contamination in a fictional community. Sharing with them the work I do within their neighborhoods brings their classroom lessons to life.
