I went to Earthfest night two years in a row with my mom. I would love to help but I'm not sure exactly what to do. I think our family might have a booth for Roots&Shoots/Pollution Solutions too.

I just want to comment on the Native American Tribes leaving the area centuries ago. In the book 1491, I highly recommend, it is told how the people of that time irrigated so much that they salinated the land and made it unusable. This happened in many pre-european era cultures over many years. Also the water table was raised so high in some that they could not grow food. Settlers found the water table in Phoenix at ten feet. Maybe fact check that. That may sound not so bad except the mineral build up had no way of washing through the soil. 1491 talks of your area extensively. I recommend the audio books. I did my PDC in 2007.
Good Luck.
