1. GCCISD teaches kids how to put waste in place (Shannon Daughtry – The Baytown Sun)
   A new program, Waste in Place, will be implemented in Baytown’s elementary schools. The program is designed to help children learn about litter prevention, waste reduction, recycling, and landfills. It is meant to spark respect for the environment as well as give the kids a sense of social responsibility. The program will hopefully have a very positive impact on future generations.

2. Cleaning Oil In Wetlands May Be Impossible (Matthew Brown – Click2Houston)
   Scientists and government officials fear that it will be impossible to remove the oil that has washed into the marshes. There have been considerations of very drastc steps such as setting the wetlands on fire or flooding the area to float out the oil. Aggressive cleanups may do more harm than good, so one option is to let nature break down the oil on its own.

3. Exxon Valdez: What did we learn? (Eric Nalder – Houston Chronicle)
   Even after many decades, the technology for cleaning up oil spills is basically the same. There are still areas today that show the effects of the Exxon Valdez oil spill, and since, adequate funding has not been given to oil spill research. The toolkit used in these situations is still about the same. Officials are still unsure of how to handle the BP oil spill.
