@gavin_ecohero @UNBiodiversity @WHO @UN Allotment gardens having providing not only healthy food to Finnish people for over a hundred years, but it has helped create a society that most of the world envies. finland.fi/life-society/f….

The air we breathe, the food we eat, the water we drink, and the environment we live in are all factors that impact human health. To ensure #HealthForAll, we must protect nature and safeguard our one and only planet. More from @WHO 👉lnkd.in/evnhfNZx via @UN

💔 🐬 Unfortunately, microplastics were found in the breath of dolphins in a new study. #PlasticPollutes #BreakFreeFromPlastic theguardian.com/environment/20…

#Particlepollution around our parks and schools are a long term issue for our health. Our teams of middle school students this year are focusing on this and other environmental issues that impact our lives in #JerseyCity. lung.org/clean-air/outd…

Quick glimpse into @Ps28jc @jcps_district City & Nature program under the leadership of Mr. T! 9 years strong from a national initiative funded through the @GRAMMYMuseum Mr. T continued the program and embedded it into the culture and climate of 28. Album release next year! 💚

Our Friday keeps getting better and better! We are so excited to announce @hydrosavers is FIRST PLACE Regional Finalist in the Northeast for the @ecybermission nationwide #STEM competition. One of the only three teams to represent the Northeast! We are so proud of you!

From our archives: Rubber is a worse deforester than coffee or cocoa and is closing in on palm oil for the top spot. And the damage could escalate sharply thanks to EVs, which wear out tires faster than conventional cars, raising demand for rubber. e360.yale.edu/features/rubbe…

🚨NEW PUBLICATION🚨 🍃Coastal wetlands are hotspots for microplastics accumulation, but what’s driving this occurrence? Our new study in Environmental Pollution shows that microplastic shape plays an important role in microplastic trapping patterns. 1/3 doi.org/10.1016/j.envp…

Made a special delivery today to @michelleefang and @thechangj SF folk - check out Ekatree on the App/Play Store and give it a try!

Started with a science fair project and now we culture #isopods in #221Science. 3 more morphs soon. Have to back the principles of the 💚 and #segundacasa on the daily. #kidsfirstalways @Ps28jc @STEMExpeditions #JerseyCity

@hydrosavers and their mission to reduce #SilentOilSpills They successfully created a classroom model for testing and education. Keep on, @STEMExpeditions team! #motoroil #JerseyCity @EPAwater @NOAA @WorldBankWater @riverkeeper

After 9 attempts, we finally were able to reprint our prototype. It took us nearly 4 months! We are currently working on printing a sewer plate for our simulation and printing another prototype so we could have two of them! #silentoilspills

@hydrosavers from @Ps28jc @STEMExpeditions @jcps_district making moves with their modified prototype! They are also working on a functional classroom display to teach other students about their mission to limit #silentoilspills Keep on! @Milken #JerseyCity

We are currently working on a model that replicates what happens out in the streets. We have a container filled with water and oil, which has a floodtable situated above with a pump. This will show how our prototype works to whoever visits the science room. #silentoilspills

Getting ready for our Spring #STEAM expo with #Glowforge laser cutter designing their own wood jewelry. #JerseyCity Public Schools.

Wish us luck!!!

Aquaculture is not just for growing plants and fish. #STEAM therapy turtles. #JerseyCity #Education #PS28 #STEM

This is @STEMExpeditions at @Ps28jc Kids in charge of their learning, Kids developing technology to solve issues they identify in their community, Kids being 🐐s (Greatest Of All Time)! We are blessed with many in the program! #JerseyCity #SilentOilSpills @jnaatus @MALISSA17

Congrats to our @Ps28jc @STEMExpeditions team - @TheTeamPulp on submitting to @ecybermission today! They wrote this message on their custom paper - made from #invasive plants, #plastic, and reused paper from classrooms. #JerseyCity @jcps_district 💚
