why did Earth Day begin?
What are some ways we can celebrate the day? Have there been any changes in the way we view our environmental responsibilities since 1970? These are some of the things we want students to consider in the 13th annual Oro Loma/Waste Management Earth Day Poster Contest-Earth Day 1970-2007. The Oro Loma/Waste Management Earth Day 2007 Poster Contest kicks off on January 16, 2007. It will be open to all students in grades K-12 attending a school in the District that uses Waste Management for its recycling program. Students have until March 16, 2007 to let us see what they have to say on the subject. A list of cash winners in each grade category will be announced on the contest hotline at (510) 613-2855 and on www.oroloma.org on Earth Day, April 22, 2007. The specific placement of winners within each grade category will be unveiled at an awards ceremony on May 22, 2007. Prizes are as follows: First Place $500, Second Place $300, Third Place $200, Honorable Mention (two awarded) $100. Prizes
