I had the privilege to do service with the Water Watch/ Energy Service Corps club. Over the year I became friends with a girl from my biology class. She is a freshman like me, and loves the sciences. Little did I know, she was elected president of the Water Watch Club. This is an awesome feat for a freshman, to run a science-based club at a heavily science-based school.
At any rate, I was introduced to the Water Watch club from the future president. She invited me to join an activity the club was doing called Lose the Lawn. This is an activity where native trees are planted to help stop pollutant runoff from reaching the major waterways.
It was a fun experience to put on the old gloves and thrust the shovel to break the ground. We planted all different kinds of trees. To me, there is something humbling about planting a tree that will continue to grow and help the environment for years to come.
I am so happy I got to do this service with Water Watch. Being a prospective biology major, I am considering joining Water Watch permanently. Whether you are a science major or not, if you enjoy the outdoors Water Watch/ Energy Service Corps is a cool club to try out.
