As for my thoughts on judging the essay contest, well, this is the fourth straight year I have been doing this essay contest with the Conference, FPL, and the School District.  Over those four years the students have shown an increasing and well-rounded understanding  of environmental, human health,  and economic consequences related to current human behavior.  I am infinitely  hopeful for our future, they give me that every year...how fortunate I am!

The essays will be published here and on the Our Greener World radio show website, www.ogwradio.com   Every week from May 23rd to June 20th you can hear one essay contest winner read their essay on the show.  Tune in to Our Greener World on Seaview Radio (106.9 FM, 95.9 FM, and 960 AM) Thursday Evenings at 6PM.
