Welcome to :: Splashing Along the Shores with Alina ::

This picture was taken at the Forum in Rome, Italy.

My name is Alina. I am a full-time student working on a degree in Health Education with an emphasis on Community Health. My daughters, ages 18 and 12, are my daily inspirations (minus days they bring home drama issues...LOL). Teaching fire safety education and public safety on the roadways is a passion of mine, along with nature photography. This blog will be focused on the many things done in my Environmental Health class, but my specific focus will be on the water, from the things that pollute our waterways to the ways we can conserve this important resource.

There are 5 possible types of posts on my blog. They include:

1. Advocacy Project
2. Eye Openers
3. Reflections
4. Eco-Chic Lifestyle Change OR Read 'N' Seed
5. Share and Voice

If you notice at the bottom of this post, the categories will be listed as labels. This post is has been labeled with all five kinds of posts. You will also see the number of each kind of post in my Labels Gadget at the top of the page. All post titles from now on will begin with one of the categories above.

The members of my web group are:

1. Nicole@Exploring The Environment
2. Haley@Adventures with Haley
3. Alex@The Geyser of Johnson

I am truly excited to travel down the educational road to becoming eco-friendly. This class will be eye-opening as to how many things I personally need to change in my lifestyle to become a better preserver of our natural resources. As a class, it will be great to see how many different ways we can come up with to save our planet.
