The North Columbia Environmental Society recently sponsored an artistic Earth Day Art Contest in local schools.
The criteria were simple:
“Examples of what you could be doing for the planet (doesn’t have to be mind blowing, just the little things that others might not be doing)- hanging laundry to dry, walking to school instead of bugging your parents for a drive, unplugging electronics when not using them, carpooling to sports events, garbage free lunches, eating less meat, having your own garden.”
It sounded like fun and the NCES had lots of entries for their school-based Earth Day Contest. Here is a list of the winners, and below that are the winning art works themselves.
