"My art work shows that you should take of Earth and everything on it."

"On my poster I put the Pros and Cons about Save Water and Recycle. I also drew the Earth because it shows that there is a lot of water, but we need to use it wisely."

"My artwork focuses on Earth with waterdrops around, based on water pollution facts. The waterdrops reflect images that show cause and effect. I used mixed media and cartoon illustrations in my design, using real life example and fact based information. I also used LoveLace from "Happy Feet" that choked on plastic soda rings, coconut octopus who got stuck in plastic cup on seabed. I created a rhyming caption to send out a informational message."

"My artwork is related to water environmental stewardship because it shows kids doing many different things that help keep the water clean, and also tells a simple explanation of how you can reuse, recycle, ask others to help clean the water, and how to clean the water."

"My drawing shows that ALL of us can help to protect our lakes and rivers. We can all do little things that will make a big difference. I tried to show many different ways that people can help to keep our water clean."

"My poster is saying no to littering. Littering causes pollution of water. My poster shows that we should start picking up after ourselves and our pets, if we do not, it might wash into the storm drains. The storm drains lead directly to the ocean so the junk washes into the storm drains. This will cause harm to plants and animals, and even to ourselves. Pollution is a serious problem that must be controlled. As responsible citizens, we should do everything that we can so that our water is and stays clean."

"People who look at my artwork should understand how to recycle. The reason we recycle is because to protect each other and have a clean environment. If all kids think first and try to reuse everything we can help everyone around us. My artwork tells everyone not to use bad chemicals and put everything where it belongs, use trash bins for trash and recycle bins for recycle. Make a poster in front of my house will show my neighbors that I care and what they should to take care of trees and plants and water that we drink from."

"My artwork "Save Water, Save Nature" is about saving the water resources which in turn saves the nature. Water sources like rivers, lakes, oceans have been constantly polluted through various harmful substances like chemicals and microorganisms. One half of my artwork shows how industrial waste is polluting the water, leading to the death of many aquatic creatures. The other half shows clean water with a balanced ecosystem. We can protect water resources by following good operating practices in industries like waste minimization programs, loss prevention and waste segregation. This helps to reduce waste and avoids harmful substances from polluting water."

"I'm trying to say that little things can turn make a big difference whether if it is good or bad. Try to make good little things a habit to be a water savior and a Earth savior."

"I want to show people that some of the things we do every day are not always good for the environment. I made a drawing to show things that we SHOULD DO and things we SHOULDN'T DO to help make our lakes and environment cleaner."

"Don't just think about yourself, think about others and try to help them. including animals that live in the water and the water itself."

"This artwork that I designed demonstrates simple steps that any person can take to help the Earth by keeping our water supply clean and conserving water. The Earth is in the center of my artwork because a healthy planet needs clean water and conserving water is how we can take care of our planet."

"I think that we can save water by taking shorter showers. I think we should try and take showers in 5 minutes and we can save a lot of water."
