Project Created: Wednesday, December 02, 2009

Project Leader: hollyp

Location: Kansas City

Project Goal: Our goals are to feed the hungry and to clean pollution from our streams in order to support our aquatic life.

Project Cause: Lack of food coming into the city
recession coming to the country
no jobs or money to buy food
water becoming polluted and people throwing trash into it

Project Plan: The plan was to join the Missouri Stream Team and work to keep our streams clean. We also contacted and worked with Harvesters on packaging backpack snacks.
