Elementary school student Victoria Yang’s winning art<\/p><\/div>\n

North Carolina Sea Grant, NC State Climate Office, and NC DEQ have partnered to create a network of\u00a0educators and researchers to connect and learn about the latest in NC climate research and\u00a0information. The NC Climate Education Network<\/a> (NCCEN) hosted an art contest for students\u00a0across North Carolina and received over 150 entries. Poetry, drawings, and photographs were\u00a0submitted from K-12 students all over North Carolina during the Fall of 2020.<\/p>\n

The organizers chose the best, most creative submissions to the question, \u201cWhat does\u00a0Climate Resiliency mean to you?\u201d Submissions ranged from detailed drawings to\u00a0beautiful poems exploring climate resiliency through the eyes of our K-12 students.<\/p>\n

Elementary School:\u00a0Molly White, Lenoir County, NC<\/em><\/p>\n

The ice starts to melt,
\nAnd so do the poor polar bears’ hearts.
\nAll because you drove your Hummer to the mini mart!
\nFlowers are in bloom.
\nBut is that bad?
\nIt is when big storms are to be had!
\nSnow is melting sooner.
\nWild fires are ablaze.
\nThe whole world is in one big haze!
\nThe coral reefs are dying,
\nThe algae is all gone.
\nAll because you put fertilizer on your lawn!
\nThe world is resilient,
\nbut only if you do your part.<\/p>\n

And the people who are willing to help Earth are off the chart!<\/p>\n

Whose polluted skies is that? I think I know.
\nThe creator is quite sad though.
\nIt really is a tale of woe,
\nI watch her frown and cry below.
\nShe gives her polluted skies a shake,
\nWith lightning striking the birds awake.
\nThe only other sound’s the break,
\nOf thunder shaking the humans awake.
\nThe earth is dying, exhausted and deep,
\nBut she has promises to keep,
\nUntil then she shall not sleep.
\nAs she lies in bed with clouds that weep.
\nShe rises from her uncomfy bed,
\nWith thoughts of sadness in her head,
\nShe idolizes being dead.
\nFacing the day with never-ending dread.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s so quiet
\nhere in the future
\nwhere the oceans are warm
\nand the fires are blazing
\nSmoke stacks keep coming
\nglaciers are sinking
\nour mother was destroyed
\nwhy was there no logical thinking
\nIt\u2019s so quiet
\nhere in the future
\nwhere Earth is dull
\nand life is decreasing.<\/p>\n
