SUSTAINABLE ART CONTEST!
Plants are what make the rest of life possible on Earth. They provide the oxygen we need to breathe, they nourish us, they grace us with their beauty. Plants can help solve many of our most daunting environmental problems. A diet that is whole food and plant-based is healthy and sustainable. It has the lowest carbon footprint and allows more people to eat and be nourished around the world. Trees clean our air and remove CO2. Their shade helps to cool a warming planet. The plants of the ocean, the phytoplankton, produce 70% of the oxygen for the planet. Without plants, we would not be here and we can’t survive without them in the future. Let’s celebrate plants in all of their resplendent glory. - What: Art pieces incorporating the theme “The Power of Plants!”
