The Environmental Protection Agency, Generations United, and the Rachel Carson Council, Inc., announce a poetry, essay, and photography contest “that best expresses the Sense of Wonder that you feel for the sea, the night sky, forests, birds, wildlife, and all that is beautiful to your eyes.”
We want you to share this love of nature with a child and others around you. When we teach our eyes and ears and senses to focus on the wonders of nature, we open ourselves to the wonders around us. The contest is designed to increase environmental stewardship and public awareness of environmental issues. To enter the contest, you must work as a team with a person from a generation older or younger than yourself. Entries are due June 16, 2008. Send your poetry or essay entry to: US EPA/Attn: Kathy Sykes, OCHPEE, 1200 Pennsylvania Ave NW, Room 2512 AR N, Washington, DC 20460 or electronically to: aging.info@epa.gov with Rachel Carson Contest in the Subject box of the email If you have further questions please contact Kathy Sykes at (202) 564-3651.
