Cooperative Environment
Did you know that Alabama is home to more environmental species than any other state? Did you know that we also have more endangered species than any other state?
As environmental stewards in our local community, Clarke-Washington EMC and PowerSouth have developed a new, environmentally based program aimed toward elementary-school-aged science students.
A Cooperative Environment is a hands-on program designed to enhance classroom education about animal endangerment and extinction. It teaches students about the unique characteristics of certain animals and plant life, but it also incorporates a close look at our environment- the air, water and natural resources. The role of the school, student, electric cooperative and cooperative employee as an environmental steward is also discussed.
Students throughout the local area can experience hands-on learning at its best when participating in a new environmental education program offered by Clarke-Washington Electric Membership Corporation. The program, “A Cooperative Environment,” teaches students about reptiles and amphibians native to Clarke-Washington’s service area through a slide presentation and a personal introduction to “critters” caught in cooperative right-of-way or service territories.
For more information on how other schools can participate in the “A Cooperative Environment” program and other school programs offered by Clarke-Washington EMC, contact Communications Specialists Tory Minus at 251-246-9081.
Clarke-Washington EMC, a Touchstone Energy Cooperative, is a member owned electric cooperative headquartered in Jackson and Chatom, Ala. Clarke-Washington EMC serves more than 21,000 consumers across some 4,000 miles of line in Clarke, Washington, Monroe and Wilcox counties of Alabama, the municipalities of Coffeeville, Chatom, Millry and McIntosh.
