Goals
Our main goal is to try and to remediate the problem of leached copper into the soil and water by removing it through phytoremediation (the sands are there to stay!). Phytoremediation is the process in which plants utilize polluting substances such as copper and other heavy metals from the stamp sands. We also hope to spread the awareness of stamp sands destroying the ecosystem. We plan on doing that by giving presentations to the elementary students and having them plant bluestem.
