Conservation Program
Serving as both a national and local
sponsor, the City of Houston has been a WET in the City partner
since its inception in 1999. By managing a network of active
facilitators at venues such as the Museum of Health and Medical
Science, the Bellaire Nature Discovery Center and others across
the city, the Houston WET in the CIty Coordinator is able
to greatly multiply the impact and outreach of the City's
water education efforts. The City of Houston also uses WET
in the City activities, such as "A Recipe For Clean Water,
an activity that raises awareness of the many hazardous household
chemicals we use in our homes every day and challenges participants
to create and test less toxic alternatives. as an integral
component to their annual city-wide water festival.
