St. Ignatius High School

Last Tuesday on March 21st I had the pleasure of presenting to St. Ignatius High School located in the Outer Sunset in San Francisco. I spoke to the Nature Nexus class taught by Mr. Paul Totah. The class consists of 15 seniors who are learning how to live a sustainable and practical life. They had recently finished the water unit and where then going into a careers section. It could not have been better timing for Surfrider to come in and show the From Sea to Summit video as well as speak about plastics pollution. The video speaks about the watershed and how we are continuously a large impact on it no matter where we are located, whether it be by a stream, in the mountains, in a city or lying by the beach.

I had a great time speaking to these great students. They were very engaging and already were great environmentalists. Mr. Totah has done a wonderful job teaching his students about plastics pollution, recycling and how to live a sustainable life in a big coastal city. We should all learn from them and continue to teach others how important and easy it is to reduce, reuse and recycle plastics.
