Be Water Wise Miami

“Be Water Wise Miami,” a project of the National Environmental Education Foundation, includes math, science and language activities focused on water conservation at school and at home, building awareness of this precious resource. Jose de Diego Middle School students led Mayor Diaz, Superintendent Carvalho and others through part of a water measurement exercise in which they examined water use in classrooms, restrooms, kitchens and outdoors.

The school is one of 14 in Miami taking part in Be Water Wise Miami. Partnering organizations include the City of Miami, Miami-Dade County Public Schools, Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden, HydroPoint Data Systems, Inc., Johnson Controls, Inc., South Florida Water Management District, Miami-Dade County Water and Sewer Department and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.
