THE HOOT

Earth Day poster competition entries and winners!

We had fantastic entries in our poster competition, showing how OU students care about sustainability and sharing their plastic swap tips.

Student volunteer judges in the Environment and Sustainability Working Group and OU Environmental Sustainability Society chose the following four winning posters…

Winning posters

A poster saying 'Don't let the past haunt you', with a L, I and C in red letters making up the word plastic.

A globe with the headings 'Swap out plastic – save the world!' over it.
Alana

Animated images of a plastic bottle and the world (with a smiley face), with the text 'You are cordially invited to reduce plastic use... Love Mother Nature'.

A cartoon man with speech bubbles with alternatives to plastic use, with the heading 'No more plastic' underneath him.
Helena Hatty

We loved all the entries and want to share them with you...

A drawing of a plastic bottle wih rubbish and fishes inside it. On the bottle is a label saying 'If all the world were paper, and all the sea were ink...'
Rachel Lafferty

A multi-coloured scene of the sea and land, with 'Invest in our planet'.

Drawings of bamboo with boxes giving the flaws of using plastic and the pros of using bamboo. The heading says 'Bite off more than plastic can chew with bamboo!'

Pictures of alternatives to plastic, such as wooden cutlery, with the heading 'Small changes can lead to big impacts. What could you change?'

Pictures of rubbish in the sea and disposable bags, next to ideas for non-plastic use (for example, beeswax wraps).

'Remember to make way for Earth Day 2024' on top of six images of the sea, otters and reusable bags (among other things)

A drawing of a globe with 'Earth Day – alternatives to plastic' with drawings of environmentally-friendly alternatives around the side.

'Plastic Facts: 12 million tonees of plastic finds its ways into the ocean every single year' and another five facts about plastic in six boxes on a green background.

'Choose eco-friendly alternatives instead of single use plastic' and 'Plastic population harms the environment and threatens wildlife' on top of a photo of lot of rubbish and some bulletpoints of how people can become environmentally-friendly.
