WABI interviews Hallsworth at Children’s Water Festival
WABI (channel 5) covered the Children’s Water Festival that drew more than 600 middle-school students to the University of Maine on Tuesday to learn about the value of clean water and healthy habitats. “So this festival is all about learning about water and water resources,” said Ruth Hallsworth, strategic program manager at the Senator George J. Mitchell Center. “So a lot of our drinking water comes from lake water, and we need to keep that lake water clean. And so teaching them how to do that at an early age is really important.”
