We are dedicated to informing Shasta County residents of the enormity of plastic pollution and offering students creative & fun outlets for them to foster positive local change.

Contests

Encourage your students to join our poster contest, showcasing their creativity while becoming aware of the danger of plastics and sharing that knowledge with others. Join us in redefining art and making posters that echo our commitment to a plastic-free world.

Participate in the Plastic Awareness Coalition's costume competition for students, wearing trash to make a positive impact against plastic pollution. Express your creativity by making a costume from plastic waste, while you  promote sustainability, and contribute to a cleaner planet.
