Funded by the California Department of Conservation, the fair is designed to educate and motivate the community to recycle and reuse drink containers, like water bottles and soda cans. Morgan Hill students are invited to submit projects that promote the recycling, reduction or reuse of drink containers or teaches about preventing stormwater runoff pollution. The three judging categories are: Grades K-3, grades 4-8 and grades
The California Department of Conservation reports that a single aluminum can, if recycled, saves enough electricity to run a television for nearly three hours. Californians recycled 59% of the 20.2 billion aluminum, glass, plastic and bi-metal drink containers purchased last year, continuing to lead the nation in the growth of beverage container recycling. The Earth Day Art & Science Fair helps to focus attention on the goal of recycling the remaining 41%. Entry forms will be sent to all Morgan Hill Schools.
