Cleaning Up the Environment
Students in Environmental Science had the opportunity to get a first hand view of one way the environment is cleaned and protected from pollution. During a field trip to the Wastewater Treatment Facility in Fox Lake, students learned from technicians how wastewater is processed before it returned into the environment. Wastewater treatment is an integral part of treatment process of water pollution due to human activities.
