The Science Behind Personal Water Filtration Systems

Restructured tap water, using personal water ionization technologies, can enhance health and eliminate the need for common household cleaning chemicals.

Join Walking Mountains Science Center on October 10th at 6:30pm for the continuation of the Science Behind series.  By the end of this fun, hands-on workshop, participants will understand the basics of how restructured, alkaline-iodized drinking water neutralizes acids, balancing our body and blood pH which can help prevent degenerative diseases, fight aging and flush body toxins.

Participants will experience first-hand how restructured tap water can be made to have varying levels of pH, which allows for its use as a cleaning and disinfecting agent, eliminating the need for expensive and often toxic chemicals.  They will also compare the pH level of various brands of bottled water, popular beverages and restructured, ionized tap water.  Just like in our local rivers and streams, increased alkalinity in our own bodies helps buffer us against the toxic effects of acidity.

Ted James is a retired science teacher who serves on the Boards of both the Walking Mountains Science Center and the Colorado Watershed Assembly.  Ted continues his work as a River Watch volunteer, monitoring the pH of Buck Creek, Beaver Creek and the Eagle River.  Ted will be joined by Jim Coddington, a Hydration Specialist from Los Angeles.

The Science Behind Worm Composting!

Back by popular demand, we’ll be doing the Science Behind Worm Composting AGAIN on June 13th at 6:30pm at the science center in Avon.  Reserve your spot now as this class is very popular and offers limited spots!  Call (970) 827-9725 or email info@walkingmountains.org

The Science Behind series at Walking Mountains continues on Wednesday, March 21st at 6:30pm with the “Science Behind Worm Composting”. Come discover the wonders of compost. Learn about the decomposition process, the benefits of keeping food waste out of the dump, and various composting methods. We will focus on the ease of worm composting for people who live in small places. Build and take home your own worm compost tub complete with a starter population of red wiggler worms.  Given in partnership with the Eagle Valley Alliance for Sustainability.

Cost: $15/household for materials to start your own bin. Space is limited, please call (970) 827-9725 to register.
