I’m my home town as a child we took a field trip to the DuPont wetlands. Wetlands near the DuPont plant.

I hadn’t thought about that field trip until just now.

We made plaster casts of animal footprints and brought them home to our parents.

The thing is we didn’t go out looking for animal footprints. They had rubber molds ready for us to use.

Didn’t think much of it at the time but as an adult I’m sitting here thinking “holy shit DuPont is using children to make it seem like there still plenty of animals near the DuPont plant.
