Language Arts Category: By Emma T. and Jaymie H. from Windber Area Elementary in Somerset County Emma and Jaymie composed a play titled, "Litter Patrol" about a young girl who thoughtfully urges a peer not to litter. After careful consideration, the peer realizes that keeping the environment clean is cool and the two girls become the best of friends. Emma and Jaymie believe that if we all help, we can save the planet.

Community Outreach Category: By Seven Homeschoolers from Clearfield County Teah, Nolan, and Nakai B., Rebecca, Sophie, and Xenia M., and Ayden C. from Clearfield County organized a community cleanup. These homeschoolers picked up litter in yards, parking lots, and nearby woods and even created posters to educate the neighborhood residents about the importance of putting litter in its place. The children have seen the impact that their positive peer pressure has had on the neighborhood and have made it a habit to carry a litter bag with them every time they go out to play.

Age Group 11 - 18

Visual Arts Category: By Sam W., Infinity Charter School, Dauphin County Sam created a thoughtful sculpture using one week worth of recycling. Sam's sculpture illustrates a large volume of items that could be and should be recycled but are not as opposed to the smaller quantity of items that actually make it to the recycling facility.

The club also has ambitious plans for the future.
