Verona will celebrate the occasion with a Poster Contest open to Public School Students Grade K through 12 All students' artwork will be displayed at school This year, the poster contest theme is:
How can we stop Climate Change in Verona? Create a poster, write your name/grade on the back and bring it to school by Oct. 4th You could win $50! For example, swapping out your light bulbs would reduce CO2 emissions by less than 0.2 tons per year, but living car free reduces your CO2 emissions by more than 3 tons per year! The average American uses about 18 tons of CO2 per year, while the average person on the planet uses about 4 tons!
