The City of Santa Monica’s Office of Sustainability and the Environment along with Sustainable Works would like to congratulate the winners and participants of the 12th Annual Sustainable Santa Monica Student Poster Contest. This year’s theme For Work, School or Play, Travel the Sustainable Way, educated students on the issues related to the over dependence on cars in our community and the many alternative forms of transportation that will allow our city to have cleaner, healthier air, safer streets, less traffic and reduce our GHG emissions. The contest was open to all kindergarten through 12th grade students who live and/or attend school in Santa Monica.
Congratulations to the winners! Here are some of their thoughts and their photos and posters are highlighted below.
When I found out that I won the Grand Prize, my mouth felt like it was going to tear apart because my smile was so big. I hope you see that art is a really cool way to express what I believe in. I designed this picture to show that people can move through beautiful Santa Monica simply by biking, walking, scootering, running, rollerblading, and more! I hope you look at my picture and see other ways you can get around Santa Monica while helping the environment.

If everyone could commit to NOT using a fuel-driven automobile at least half of the week, then the world would heal twice as fast.
