Entries due Friday, Apr. 8 Draw a Mascot The EnviroChallenger educators have taught Tacoma students all about surface water, wastewater, garbage and recycling and how their daily activities can affect the quality of the earth's ecosystem. Learning the 5 Rs, how to prevent water pollution and measuring their eco-footprint has equipped them to be a better environmental steward, able to help Tacoma be a healthier and happier place to live. Now, we want them to show us what they've learned by creating a mascot that represents healthy environmental habits. This mascot can be an animal, a person or something they've made up. Some behaviors they might have their mascot doing are: * Using greener cleaners * Washing a car on the lawn * Keeping storm drains clear of pollution * Recycling * Picking up after a pet * Or any other positive behavior you've learned from the EnviroChallenger educators All entries must be postmarked by April 8. Please include one entry form with each poster. Entry forms can be downloaded at www.cityoftacoma.org/envirokids<http://www.cityoftacoma.org/envirokids> or requested by phone at (253) 573-2506. This contest is open to Tacoma students only.
