Irvington Earth Trifecta 2015

April 27, 2015 Topic: Community Involvement

We celebrated a great Earth Day 2015!
April 22 was Earth Day and what a special day it was for us this year. The first year of the Irvington Earth Trifecta started off (and ended up) cold and windy, but that didn’t stop the students and community from pouring in.

From 10am – 3pm we hosted 5 different schools totaling approximately 100 students for an educational day of learning about the earth and the environmental science and engineering happening every day at Mundell.


Students rotated through different stations (manned by the dedicated staff at Mundell), with the crowd favorite Quake Cottage provided by the Indiana Geological Survey.

Station No. 1 – Welcome to Mundell and Earth Day. What is Earth Day? What is the Irvington Earth Trifecta?
Station No. 2 – The Earthquake Cottage where students experienced what a 7.0 earthquake feels like and learned why earthquakes happen and how to stay safe. It shook us all up!
Station No. 3 – Geophysical imaging and hands-on demo to find our buried treasures on site.
Station No. 4 – A great hand-on demo of soil and water sampling that that really got the kids involved and working together, lots of fun for the kids to get their ‘feet wet’ (literally!).
Station No. 5 – Inspiring demo of remediation equipment for future geologists and engineers.
Station No. 6 – Career summary and advice not only on environmental science and engineering, but on life after high school in general!

After 3pm, members from the community, clients, and families stopped by to enjoy the Quake Cottage. One neighbor commented, “I have been watching the tons of kids in and out of there all day, Mundell has all kinds of stuff for them to do. Thank you…..loving having you as a neighbor and you are super for our community and the kids.”

We are looking forward to next year – remembering that every day is Earth Day!

Think Local this 4th of July

Let’s face it – it’s hard to “green” a fireworks celebration, but here are some ideas for an environmentally friendly 4th of July

  • Instead of using paper plates at the party, bring out your everyday dishes and serving utensils. Have labels or charms available for guests to put on their drinking glasses.
  • Ride your bike to a local fireworks celebration or have your own by banging pots and pans (the kids will love it), and having a star-spangled sing along.
  • Buy your meat from the farmers market or purchase local poultry or vegetarian options from the grocery store.
  • Use a propane grill which produces about half the greenhouse emissions as charcoal.
