Dear ,

I am a 10th grade student at the School of Science, Connections and Technology

in San Diego. We are a U.S. News & World Report Silver Medalist school located
in Kearny Mesa. I am participating in a project called Soil Degradation and
Agriculture. Ours is an interdisciplinary project in which we explore the
connections between environmental issues and personal choices. We are
developing a project website, trifold and interactives that we will use in the Earth
and Wellness Fair to inform our community about Soil Degradation/ Agriculture
and ultimately motivate them to improve soil quality locally, regionally and around
the world.

I am writing to request further information on Soil Degradation/Agriculture as

part of my community outreach presentation. I am especially interested in
learning more about Agriculture in the United States and San Diego County in
particular. I would also like to know what is currently being done to help the soil
quality. As I have researched this topic, I have become increasingly alarmed at
the decreasing quality of the soil globally, regionally and locally.
.
I would appreciate any insights or information you could share with me. If there
are other organizations you think I should contact, I would welcome that
information as well. Thank you very much for your time.

Sincerely yours,

Havanna Lawrence
