A 5-year-old environmentalist and lemonade entrepreneur from South Minneapolis has become one of the latest financial supporters of the Freshwater Society.
Zachary Coats donated $34, part of the proceeds from a lemonade stand he operated May 2, at Minneapolis' May Day Parade. He set up the stand as part of Lemonade Day, a nationwide, Texas-based initiative aimed at teaching youngsters about entrepreneurial skills.
Why did Zachary, who will start kindergarten this fall, contribute to the Freshwater Society?
"Ever since he was a little boy, he has been interested in water and oceans and fish," said his mother, Terrie Coats. "His first word when was a little boy was 'fish.' He's very passionate about the environment and water conservation - even at 5."
