As the end of the semester approaches, here we have our summary post for the project. The main topic of our ECAP project was about water pollution, basically, it results when contaminants are introduced into the natural environment. it’s currently one of the most serious environmental issues in the world. However, many people have not realized its raising seriousness, even though it will have huge negative impacts on people’s daily life. Also, plant and animal life are often threatened by the decreasing quality of groundwater, and it will eventually break the ecosystem of the environment. Love-Life-Style members worked with Berks Nature as our service, which is known as a non-profit conservation organization that has been serving the Berks country community since 1974. Basically, our job was choosing locations to test the water quality, and it reflects the water pollution level. For our service, all Love-Life-Styles members went to three different testing locations at Moselem creek, which are near Berkleigh Golf club and Moselem Springs Golf club. Basically the water tests included Nitrate testing, PH, dissolved oxygen, conductivity and collecting temperatures. The only test that we could not compete with was the phosphorus test because of the lack of kits materials. We enjoyed the whole process of water testing, as it was a new experience for us to actually go outside of class and learn from the environment.

Final Poster and Public Education
It’s finally toward the end of the semester.
We’re having a recap on our successful stand on 12/1.
This poster helps demonstrate our research result and the service cooperating with the Berks Nature.
This activity also provides us a chance to educate the public with the knowledge we gained throughout the semester.
River Exploring & Data Collecting
Hello Fellows,
We believe everyone is enjoying the Thanksgiving Break with family & turkey.
Here at LLS group, we want to share some recap on our data colleting day on 11/21.
The water quality test took place at the river next to Moselem Springs Golf Club.
Hope you guys will have a great time for the rest of the break like our member Dawei Sun in Spain.
Last Step Toward Thanksgiving Break
Hello guys!!!
I believe everyone is struggling to get the work done before the Holiday.
Here at Love-Life Style team, we’re also working on our poster for the presentation right after the break.
On 12/2, we’ll be hosting the table at the Gaige hallway.
We’re happy to see you guys and share our research and service with you all.
Locations for Test
Hello Guys!!!!!
Now it’s finally the time for us to reveal the locations we’re going to visit and collect water quality data.
The data collecting will be held on this Friday (11/22).
We’ll share the progress of the data collecting soon.
LLS First Step changing the world
As the semester going to the 5th week, the amazing team is finally being introduced to the world. Our team name is LLS, which stands for Love-Life Style. In our team, we have a combination of three awesome people who has different background and would bring different ideas.
In the following, we have a brief introduction of our members:
Name: Jacky Lin
Year Standing: 2nd
Major: Finance
Fun Facts: From Taiwan
Name: Cecilia Li
Year Standing: 1st
Major: Management
Fun Facts: Just Taken
Name: Dawei Sun
Year Standing: 1st
Major: Management
Fun Facts: Photographe
After introducing our team, we’ll like to share some information about the Water Quality project with Berks Nature. This project’s goal is to help Berks Nature to collect data of water, including pH, Temp, and Dissolved Oxygen. Then the data will be disseminate to organizations that can use it for research or local decisions on land use/restoration. Including but not limited to The Academy of Natural Science, NASA, Stroud Water Research, and many more.
We’re really looking forward to having the training to gain the professional knowledge, exploring different locations to collect data, and having the chance to get certified in different scientific protocols that are lifelong through the NASA GLOBE program.
