We asked Colorado Students to design a Colorado Eco-hero. They created some super neat designs!! Check them out to bring a smile to your lovely Earth Day! 💚

We had 89 total submissions for this year's contest. 🤩 Students were tasked with creating an eco-hero mascot that was represented by a native Colorado animal. We received submissions that included:
🦝 Trash sorting raccoons
🐿️ Litter critters
🐏 Reusing rams
🐻 Trash protecting bears
🪱 Wiggling compost worms
🦅 Tons of eagles squawking about recycling and keeping Colorado clean!

Selected winner's art will be used to create stickers to be shared far and wide with their classmates and our members. 🌎

Interested in helping to select the winners? Leave a comment of your fav animal! ⬇️🦋
