We will compare conventional to organic foods and try to match pictures of food with where it came from.

For Brownie Girl Scouts working on Wonders of Water, Girl Scouts will learn about the types of meat we eat and how those meats affect our water systems and how we can work together to protect our waters. We will create posters that can be displayed in Natural Grocers for our customers to learn more about how they can help too!
