CANtest Promotes Aluminum Can Recycling In Unique Way
The 1st Annual Alcoa Recycled Art CANtest winners have been announced! Students from all over Southwestern Pennsylvania created works of art to emphasis the importance of recycling – specifically aluminum cans! Grades 1 through 8 were asked to create a poster that either encourages schools, communities, and/or the public to recycle--specifically aluminum cans or create a poster that shows the environmental benefits of recycling aluminum cans. High school students were tasked with creating sculptures out of aluminum cans. We received a lot of great entries and our judges had a difficult time deciding on the winners. You can see the winning posters by visiting here. The PRC wants to thank all who participated, students, teachers and, of course, the Alcoa Foundation for making the CANtest possible.
