What I did and what I learned about my topic, activism, social justice work or civil and human rights work from this fieldwork:

At 9:00 me and my group (that consists of Me, Gio, and Masami) met with our science teacher in the principles office. We all sat down and we took turns asking her questions and writing down her answers like how much you know about water/ocean pollution and what organizations are helping stop it. We learned that water is being pulled from farther and farther away so eventually we will run out of places to get clean water. I also learned that we are consuming a lor of microplastics from the water we drink every day that can affect our health. After the interview we walked out the room with new information on who to talk to for our topic and just more knowledge of our water/ocean pollution all together.
