Art Challenge for Year 9 to 12 students
Victoria-based Pilot, 2012
The world’s other CO2 challenge, Ocean Acidification poses a serious global threat to marine life. Coral reefs alone are already being destroyed twice as fast as the rainforests. Our polar seas are already so acidic that they are starting to dissolve some shells.
To create more understanding of this major ocean issue, we’ve established Australia’s largest environmental art show. Open to all Year 9-12 students, this Victoria-based pilot is the start of what we hope will become a national and international initiative.
