City of San José –
Environmental Services Department
The City of San Jose Environmental
Services Department Youth Watershed Education Team (YWET) was formed in
1997 to coordinate the Environmental Services Department's water-related
messages and deliver them to the youth living in the San Jose/Santa Clara
Water Pollution Control Plant service area. YWET strives to promote the
importance of our watershed by educating today's youth to serve as future
watershed stewards.
YWET's mission is to invest in the
future now through planning and delivering the Environmental Services
Department's water education initiatives that promote understanding and
encourage youth to adopt sustainable environmental habits.
YWET focuses on five key messages:
- We need to protect our watershed
- The San Jose/Santa Clara Water
Pollution Control Plant is important
- Water conservation is important
to the South Bay.
- Recycled water is an important
resource and part of our water supply future.
- School sites can be models of
environmental sustainability.
We implement our message through
teacher training workshops, educational materials for teachers and
students, in-class presentations, and partnerships with other
Environmental Education organizations. Resources include:
