Sunflower Seed Planting
Hosted by Hands On New Orleans and First Street United Methodist Church of New Orleans. The student learned how Hurricane Katrina is having an lingering impact on the city of New Orleans. They learned how the flood helped increase the danger of environmental exposure to toxins such as lead deposits in the soil. As a part of their effort to help the city they discovered that sunflowers pull lead out of the soil. Thus one of their main volunteer activities was the planting of sunflower seedlings.
