Sustainable Santa Monica

The purpose of the second annual Earth Day Poster Contest is to raise awareness of Santa

Monica's Sustainable City Plan and this year's theme highlights one of the goal areas- sustainable transportation. As our student

community and next generation leaders, we want to see your thoughts and ideas expressed through art about clean air, climate

change, healthier lifestyles and sustainable transportation. How can we ditch the car and use more sustainable

transportation options such as walking, biking, carpooling and riding the Big Blue Bus?
