Dear Friends:
I'd like to invite California students to be a part of my Earth Day “Help Save the Earth” contest. The contest details are outlined below.
As Chairman of the Senate’s Environment and Public Works Committee, I am working to make our world a cleaner and healthier place. My “Help Save the Earth” contest is aimed to get young people to think about and share their ideas on how we can improve our environment.

- Each entry should include an illustration (on 8 ½ by 11 paper) and a description (in 50 words or less) of one way to “Help Save the Earth.”
- All contestants should clearly include their name, teacher’s name, school name, and school address.
- Entries may be bundled by class or sent separately. They should be postmarked no later than April 9, 2010 and mailed to:
Help Save the Earth Contest
Office of U.S. Senator Barbara Boxer
