| Impact Report | Earth Day: The City of Socorro hosted an Earth Day festival at the plaza for members of the community. Socorro County 4-H was asked to provide the youth activities for the event. The Socorro County Extension Agents and 4-H members discussed how plants affect the earth. We discussed what plants need to live such as soil, water, sun and carbon dioxide. We discussed how plants help us by producing oxygen that we need to breathe and we produce carbon dioxide that plants need to breathe. Each child was allowed to make a dirt baby to take home and care for. Over 100 dirt babies were made at the event. HEAD: Thinking • Decision Making – Youth had to decide how they were going to decorate their dirt baby. HANDS: Giving • Responsible Citizenship – Youth learn to be responsible by caring for their dirt baby at home; they have to make sure it has plenty of food and water or it will die. • Community Service Volunteer – By participating in Earth Day activities youth learn the importance of caring for their community and make their community look beautiful for other to look at. |
