Oak Creek School 10/23/2017 12:09 PMMy biggest accomplishment thus far in the challenge was writing a letter to several members of our government, including EPA head Scott Pruitt, urging them to put a stop to the Pebble Mine in Bristol Bay, AK. Mr. Pruitt approved the mining project without notifying Congress, so I addressed my letter to 3 other members of government as well in the hope of drawing their attention to this impending environmental and economic disaster.
