Puppets Teach Kids Importance of Clean Water
By:
SUPERIOR - Parents and kids took a break from the cold to learn about the importance of clean water from puppets.
For the first time, the City of Superior's Environmental Services Division educated visitors about how to keep our water clean through a puppet show.
They suggested things like picking up litter, using non-toxic cleaners and keeping storm drains clean.
Experts said it's important for kids to know the value of water so they can appreciate it.
"We depend on it every day. Yes, we want a clean Lake Superior, but we want clean water to drink for us, but we also want it for the environment, the life that depends on clean water," said Wendy Grethen, with Superior Environmental Services.
The city is considering taking the event into local schools next year.
