(3/3) there is also a need to change student mindset and remove the hesitance to drink from water fountains that has built up from years of closed fountains, horror stories of yellow water, and teacher instructions in elementary school to avoid fountains at all costs

(1/3)Today I spoke with student reps from schools citywide at CW student council meeting about my lead filters iniative and got some wonderful insights (video below) https://t.co/gn9ryU3YuU

(2/3) First, lack of drinking water is a big problem in schools citywide - not just McNair. Every school at the citywide student council meeting reported lack of water at their school. Second, alongside just installing filters,

(2/2) If old buildings like our very own City Hall have had success with these filters,they should definitely be implemented in Jersey City Public Schools! @StevenFulop @innovatejc @CouncilmanYun @jerseyjournal

(1/2) Update: Attached below is an image of similar lead filters on water fountains @ City Hall which were installed a couple years ago.

Fruiting bodies popping up out of wood chip - burlap - corncob - phragmite substrate #STEM

[MycofiltrationIsland @Mycofiltrator]

Put new corn cob substrate into mycelium patch along with a layer of phragmite and as a result saw increased growth
