On Earth Day, we held a Waste-to-Art competition. Both students and teachers collected materials from home and classroom, diverting garbage from the landfill or recycling facility, towards our creativity. </p> <p> Some of the sculptures were created by classes that worked together. Some students chose to go it alone. All enjoyed using their creative talents, and staff and students were all amazed to see wheat could emerge from the garbage.</p> <p>When the judging was done, Sarah Langridge took first place with a piece made from old junk that she was getting rid of. The theme of Sarah’s work is the difference between the sparkly version of disposable goods that corporations present, and the ugly truth of pollution created by a consumer lifestyle. We sent Sarah’s sculpture to the EarthCARE Expo, where it won the David Suzuki Award. </p> </div> </sp> </td> </tr> </table> </TD> </TR> <TR> <TD WIDTH=750 HEIGHT=44>  <TABLE WIDTH=750 BORDER=0 CELLPADDING=0 CELLSPACING=0> <TR> <TD bgcolor="#D0D2FB" WIDTH=750> <div id="footer"> <a href="/default.asp" title="EarthCARE, An Environmental Education Partnership ™">Home</a> - <a href="/EarthCARE_Program/Default.asp" title="The EarthCARE program teaches environmentalism and conservationism to children">Program</a> - <a href="/About_EarthCARE/default.asp" title="EarthCARE achieves student-led environmental stewardship through youth engagement and experimental learning">About Us</a> - <a href="/EarthCARE_News_and_Events/default.asp" title="EarthCARE and other environmentally concerned news and events">News & Events</a> - <a href="/EarthCARE_Resources/Default.asp" title="Websites, books, and videos on recycling, waste management, water conservation and the environment">Resources</a> - <a href="/Contact_EarthCARE/default.asp" title="Contact EarthCARE to help deliver student-led environmental stewardship in your school">Contacts</a> <br> <a href="/Privacy_Policy.asp">Privacy Policy</a> - <a href="/Terms_of_Use.asp">Terms of Use</a> - <a href="/Site_Map.asp">Site Map</a> - <a href="/FAQs.asp" title="Answers to question on energy, waste, and water conservation as well as the EarthCARE program">FAQs</a><br> Site optimized for Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0 and a 800X600 screen resolution<br> EarthCARE™ An Environmental Education Partnership, ™ property of Ameresco Canada, content © Better Planet Productions Inc.</div> <script language="JavaScript" src="http://www.gvisit.com/record.php?sid=7aa655424ed01daf82ccb454ec69434f" type="text/javascript"></script> <script src="http://www.google-analytics.com/urchin.js" type="text/javascript"> </script> <script type="text/javascript"> _uacct = "UA-289657-1"; urchinTracker(); </script> </TD> </TR> <TR> <TD WIDTH=750 HEIGHT=2> <IMG SRC="../images/earthcare_footer_02.gif" WIDTH=750 HEIGHT=2></TD> </TR> </TABLE>  </TD> </TR> </TABLE> </div>  <script language="javascript"> var data,nhp,ntz,rf,sr;document.cookie='__support_check=1';nhp='http'; rf=document.referrer;sr=document.location.search; if(top.document.location==document.referrer || (document.referrer == '' && top.document.location != '')) {rf=top.document.referrer;sr=top.document.location.search} ntz=new Date();if((location.href.substr(0,6)=='https:') || (location.href.substr(0,6)=='HTTPS:'))nhp='https'; data='&an='+escape(navigator.appName)+ '&ck='+document.cookie.length+ '&rf='+escape(rf)+ '&sl='+escape(navigator.systemLanguage)+ '&av='+escape(navigator.appVersion)+ '&l='+escape(navigator.language)+ '&pf='+escape(navigator.platform)+ '&pg='+escape(location.pathname); if(navigator.appVersion.substring(0,1)>'3') {data=data+'&cd='+ screen.colorDepth+'&rs='+escape(screen.width+ ' x '+screen.height)+ '&tz='+ntz.getTimezoneOffset()+'&je='+ navigator.javaEnabled()}; document.write('<img border=0 hspace=0 '+ 'vspace=0 width=1 height=1 src="'+nhp+'://counter.hitslink.com/'+ 'statistics.asp?v=1&s=11&acct=earthcare_site'+data+'">');</script> <script language="javascript1.2">document.write('<'); document.write('!-- ');</script><noscript> <img border=0 hspace=0 vspace=0 width=1 height=1 src="http://counter.hitslink.com/stats-ns.asp?acct=earthcare_site&v=1&s=11"> </noscript>  </BODY> </HTML>
