The phrase Go Green means different things to different people. Some people have taken this idea and recycle everything they possibly can in order to keep trash out of the landfills. They also realize that not recycling is wasting products that can be reused. Other have taken the phrase and changed all their light bulbs to compact fluorescents in order to save energy. There are other people who have purchases hybrid cars or starting riding bikes to school and work in order to cut down on carbon emissions. There are literally hundreds of different ways to Go Green in our every day lives, and people are finally getting on board with it. Students have even taken up the challenge with their water science fair projects. Some of the latest submissions to these events are water science fair projects with a focus on the philosophy of Go Green.
Water science fair projects are particularly well suited to the environmental movements occurring today. Much of the concern for the environment by governmental and private eco groups is for the health of our water supply. Water science fair projects can focus on many different aspects of this concern. One area is the need for potable water in many areas of the world. What we take for granted that just comes out of the pipes in our homes is a rare commodity in many parts of the world. In developing nations the lack of clean drinking water is on the top of the list, and for good reason. Nothing survives without water. A students water science fair project just may have the answers for this critical life-threatening problem.
Another area the students focus on with their water science fair projects is the negative effect of pollution. This is particularly suited for demonstration purposes at science fairs. While all are familiar with the disastrous effects of ecological tragedies such as oil spills, less is known about the long-term effects of other types of pollution. This is one area a student may explore with their water science fair project. An additional area of concern lately is the health of the fresh water rivers of the world. Students are also taking these larger issues, researching them, and presenting their findings for their water science fair projects.
