IEWK made waves at Cal State San Bernardino's Environmental Expo April 21^st, in honor of Earth Day. Hundreds of children were enchanted by our diorama that demonstrates how dirty urban runoff in our watershed ends up in the ocean.Visitors to the booth got involved by pointing out potential pollution sources in our Santa Ana River Watershed, and using squirt bottles to make it "rain" over the mountains, cropland, grass and city streets. As they watched the motor oil, pet waste, or fertilizers run into creeks and storm and out to the ocean, kids would shout, "Eew, that's gross!" or "Yuck, I don't wanna swim in that!"

Many families who stopped by the diorama accepted our challenge to find ways they can reduce water pollution in their neighborhood and community, and to spread the word!  We also debuted our new Waterkeeper banner and t-shirts, and gathered emails from folks interested in volunteer work.

Thanks to all who stopped by the booth at this exciting event!
