We went to Le Pain Quotidien across the street from school and interviewed Hilary Meltzer, who provides legal work related to the water supply of the city. We asked her about her job and whether she thinks the government is doing enough to call attention to environmental issues concerning water.
Visit to NY Aquarium
by Charlie
We received a tour of the new exhibit about sharks in the New York Aquarium on January 7, 2019. The exhibit discussed the differences between different species of sharks, their relationship with humans, and some threats they face. We also got to see the part of the aquarium where they filter water and sand using large tubes. At the end, we watched a seal perform tricks, which was a fun ending to the trip.
