Earth Conservancy had the chance to talk about its work to mitigate acid mine drainage on Friday, May 6th, with hundreds of students at Dr. David W. Kistler Elementary School in Wilkes-Barre. Check out some of the excellent AMD-inspired poems they put together!

Magnetic poetry reads: "Yesterday/a little/sad river/survived/orange danger and/had a tear"

Magnetic poetry reads "acid mine drainage/seeps/into/oceans/and/harms/ecosystems"

Magnetic poetry reads: "acid mine drainage/pollution hurts animals and children r in danger/its sad and we need to fix"

Magnetic poetry reads: "strong thick reeds can slow/acid mine drainage and protect/nutrients and/the trees and flowers"
