LJI Mission Possible Environmental Team As good stewards of the environment, we can all make a difference. That is exactly what a group of LJI students are doing. Last year these students tackled a major environmental disaster, MODO Zeus, an abandoned oil rig at Quintana Beach. After an investigative study on the toxic chemicals present and the impact on our community, students wrote letters to our congressmen and presented their findings to their peers urging all to help do away with Zeus. The team’s efforts paid off and MODO Zeus will be history in the near future. Efforts are in progress to remove the rig. This project motivated students and community officials to join forces to continue the endeavor. Students are now developing a presentation that will educate and promote “green” neighborhoods, empowering others to be good stewards of the environment as well. The benefits of a project such as this that will both educate our children and improve our environment for generations to come is a win/win situation for all.
