Earth Day on 22 April 2024

Get ready to commemorate Earth Day like never before! Eco Roots Foundation, in collaboration with Earth Day Network, presents a distinctive Earth Day event on 22 April 2024. This year’s theme, “Planet vs. Plastics,” will be brought to life through three engaging avenues –

1. PlastiCraft Expressions on Earth Day Art and Craft Exhibition,
2. Eco Theatre contest on Planet vs. Plastics, and
3. Online Eco Quiz.

All three activities are open for students in grades 6 to 8 except the quiz, which will be conducted in two categories – Junior (grades 6 to 8) and Senior (grades 9 to 12).

Join us in this unique celebration where creativity meets advocacy, and knowledge merges with action to protect our planet. By participating in the Online Eco Quiz, students contribute to a culture of environmental stewardship and responsibility, aligning with the ethos of Earth Day.

ABOUT THE PLASTICRAFT EXPRESSIONS

The PlastiCraft Expressions is an Art and Craft Competition themed around “Planet vs. Plastics” offers a unique platform for students in Classes 6 to 8 to express their creativity while addressing pressing environmental concerns. Participants are tasked with creating artworks or craft pieces that reflect their interpretation of the theme, focusing on the juxtaposition between the beauty of our planet and the detrimental effects of plastic pollution. Through a variety of mediums such as painting, sculpture, collage, or mixed media, students have the opportunity to convey powerful messages and advocate for sustainable practices.
