Announcing the of winners of the “Under the Sea” Recycled Beach Trash Art Competition
After the beach clean-up this past fall, MVironment Club members were inspired to raise awareness of the need to keep our beaches clean.

The club appreciates all of the entrants in this valuable awareness-raising exhibition. The entries were judged by Emma Green-Beach from the Great Pond Foundation and Martha's Read More / Leia mais
