Foundation For The Future - Giveaway

Can you imagine where we would be today without aggregates, or what you may know as stone, sand and gravel? You may not realize it, but these aggregates have played very important parts in the growth of our nation… and the world. The National Stone, Sand & Gravel Association (NSSGA), has an educational microsite where you will be able to explore our nation’s most historic past, present and our future to come. You can even have a peak into the Smithsonian Rock Gallery, an interactive platform where you and your kids can learn about the dynamic forces that formed our Earth and Solar System.

Did you know that paved roadways, railways, bridges, tunnels, and even toothpaste fall into the aggregates category? Earth’s history is written on pages of stone and since our planet’s birth 4.6 billion years ago rocks have been continually forming and changing over time, each containing a part of our planet’s history and future. They have important jobs, as they tell stories, recycle water and build cities! I invite you to visit the newly updated education resource, Foundation 4 The Future, www.foundation4thefuture.com where you will find video, links and stories to share with your children in order to teach them about the importance of natural resources.

Win It!

One person will win a set of Smithsonian Museum handbooks on rocks and minerals, like the three shown above.
