This was one exciting day. I just visited 400 schools in Washington, DC and 986 schools in Sacramento, CA this week…Not personally, but hundreds of teachers are getting fun, but educational materials that will help me battle the evil forces bent on kicking up dust, letting dirty water run-off into our streams, gobbling up oxygen and heating […]
