What our supporters are saying...
   
           
           
   

"We could really tell the ECOS students are learning a lot when we heard comments about 'non-point source pollution' and 'turbidity' without any prompting."
- Josh Vincent, Black and Veatch

  
           
           
           
   

"It was fun to be around young, inquisitive minds and to see the students remain engaged with learning and discussion late in the day! "
Doug Norsby, MARC

 
           
           
         
     

"Green Works is helping move us toward a model that will eventually help the local economy, local community, and the local environment all at once - sustainability in action."

"Our experience working with these bright young students was that they were highly interested in learning more about water issues. We were impressed with how carefully they listened and what thoughtful questions they posed."
