On Thursday, the 3rd of February our group was honored to meet with Jennifer Bombardier. Jennifer Bombardier is an export at LES Ecology Center. She is focused around educating others on the environment around us, “work toward a better future.” We asked many questions like different types of water pollution, how climate change affecting the water cycle, and what are some solutions to water pollution which then helps climate change. She was very nice and informed us with her wisdom about how rain water and waste water in the same sewage system is being dumbed back into the ocean untreated.
Jennifer became passionate about environmental education during her college years at George Mason University in Northern Virginia. She is dedicated to connecting youth with their local environment and instilling stewardship values that last a lifetime. She told use different organization that we can trust, including Billion Oyster Project, Water Act, etc. This issue is really important to her and us and we were so happy to interview her on zoom.
