Sustain Fairfax Earth Month Youth Art Contest

Colorful kid‑drawn poster showing ways children can help the climate: plant trees, recycle, save water and energy, walk or bike, and clean up parks. Fairfax County’s Office of Environmental and Energy Coordination (OEEC) invited students to showcase how they are taking action for our planet in the Sustain Fairfax Earth Month Youth Art Contest. The contest encouraged students to connect their art to the Sustain Fairfax Challenge, an online platform where residents track and share their climate actions.
