One lucky 1st grader and his Willard School class will be treated to a pizza party after his poster for "Earth Day...Every Day" was declared the winner by environmentally-conscious R&S Landscaping.
Gregory Lawson, a student in Chris Kearn's first-grade class at Willard Elementary will be treated to a pizza party with the other lucky kids in the class as well as have his winning poster up on R&S's website and at the Ridgewood Public Library.
The contest was designed to encourage how students could develop day-to-day environmental awareness to promote sustainability and better practices while also being creative. The contest was open to Bergen County students in grades 1-8 across three themes – water conservation, plants or planting.
"We were very impressed with so many of the entries that it was hard to pick just one winner, but the enthusiasm Gregory expressed in his bold and colorful poster really stood out," said Robert Schucker, president of R&S Landscaping.
"We are pleased to be part of an encouraging event that helped students learn about environmental practices in a creative manner and hope they will put some of what they learned to good use at home."
R&S was on-hand at Earth Day 2011 with a rain water barrel to showcase some simple sustainability methods while also getting dirt under their fingernails by teaching kids how to plant saplings.
The company does pretty much any landscaping job for residential, public and commercial properties in the areas of design/build, grounds maintenance, irrigation, lighting and plant health care.
R&S specializes in low-impact outdoor designs, focusing on the installation of green roof systems, ecologically-sensitive outdoor solutions, water efficient irrigation design and installation and bio-diverse landscape design.
