Recycled Art Contest Of the many organized activities and ways we have chosen to celebrate Earth Day, the Recycled Art Contest is a way to gather students of all ages in producing a piece of recycled art. We have asked Nacogdoches teachers and professors to encourage their students to make a piece of art that is at least 90% post-consumer material. While students constructed their art piece, teachers discussed topics such as where a certain material comes from, how it is extracted, where it goes, how it is made, how consumers use it, and then what happens to it after it has been used. Our goal is that the Recycled Art activity will create an awareness in our youth of how much waste our society produces and how much of it can simply be reused. By getting students on board, we can help in preserving the precious materials that Mother Earth so graciously provides.
Results will be announced at 12:45 PM.
