March
VideO diary challenge
2 points
Submit a video of students making their strongest argument for why everyone should recycle and what efforts your school has gone to this year to make it more environmentally friendly.
The video challenge invites the school, students,
teachers, staff, administration and parents to reflect
on not only the basics of recycling, but of
sustainability, resource conservation, and
environmental stewardship. This activity will
empower students and facilitators to demonstrate how
their school is conserving resources, reducing
pollution, and increasing the life of Horry County's
landfill by encouraging increased recycling
participation in their schools. The contest will also
serve as a learning tool for participating students
by providing lessons in ecology, art, drama,
technology, marketing and team work.
Contest Criteria

Points for the Talkin' Trash Contest will be based on uniqueness, creativity, and the best portrayal of how you spread the word on recycling, composting, and landfill diversion.
