Share & Voice: Ingrid and Lauren's Glass Tree

Since most of you probably couldn't see the pictures of the items Ingrid and I "repurposed" for Tuesday, I decided to upload them into a "Share & Voice!"

Advocacy Project: The Salmon Challenge

Title
The Salmon Challenge

Purpose
Salmon Challenge is a game to help you see how your decisions help or harm our environment and our salmon. The environmental lessons learned from this game can also be applied to other wildlife and humans that use estuaries, rivers, lakes, and ponds for a variety of purposes.

Background/Reasoning/Evidence
Polluted runoff that enters rivers, lakes, and estuaries has a major impact on the environment and endangers the health of wildlife and humans. Polluted runoff comes from a variety of sources that are hard to regulate. However, there are several things you can do around your home to improve the water quality of rivers, lakes, and estuaries.

Instructions
1. You will be given ten questions, just choose the best answer by clicking on it with your mouse. Good choices will help your salmon grow big and strong and migrate to Puget Sound, bad choices will harm or kill your salmon.
2. You may get a Water Quality Alert with no good solution.
3. Click on CHECKUP to see your salmon's current size, health and location.
4. Click on TRY to give your salmon a jumpstart if you discover it is sick.
5. Clicking on the arrow will take you to the next question
6. When you are finished with the game, post a comment about what you learned from it!
