River District and Piedmont Natural Gas Foundation to launch Eco-Footprint Challenge in Area Schools

Feb. 7, 2013 – The Catawba River District and the foundation for a regional utility are launching an Eco-Footprint Sustainability Challenge. The friendly competition will encourage students at several schools in Mecklenburg and Gaston counties to get creative with ideas to improve the sustainability of their schools. 

The Piedmont Natural Gas Eco-Footprint Challenge, developed by the Catawba River District, will enable students to apply science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) principles to devise a way to protect or reduce consumption of a natural resource.

Eleven River District elementary and middle schools located in Mount Holly, Belmont, and Charlotte near the Catawba River are being invited to participate in the three-month learning completion, set to begin in March.
