Now you've discovered something about your local stream or river. Why stop there? There are lots of things that you and your class can do to take action based on your results.

EcoSpark is developing some resources to help you! We have categorized our resources into four categories:

• School and Community Education
• Localized Stream Action
• Comunicating Resutls to Government and Business
• Changing Habits

Share what you've discovered with your school and community:

• Press Releases and Newpaper Articles
  Inform your school community about what you've found by writing a newspaper article or informing the local press with a press release.
  
  
• More to come!

Make a direct, positive impact on your local stream's health:

• Diverting and Collecting Rainwater
  Build a rainwater catchment system for your school to decrease the amount of stormwater run-off.
  
  
• More to Come!

Use your data to encourage governments and businesses to act responsibly and in favour of stream health:

• Letter-Writing Campaign
  Craft a compelling letter to someone in government or business who can make a positive decision on the health of your local stream.
  
  
• More to come!

Encourage small habits that reduce our negative impact on the stream ecosystem:

• Making Waves
  Challenge your classmates and family to change their problematic habits into stream-healthy ones.
  
  
• More to come!
