    logo_lettereditorThe North Carolina Litter-Free Coalition (NCLFC) is encouraging all public, private and home schools in any state to compete in our annual anti-litter competition contest. Compete as an elementary, middle or high school. We will be judging the first ten elementary, middle and high school that send us an email stating that they are going to participate in this contest.

    Schools could consider this contest to stimulate the STEM programs.

    Submit information about your school anti-litter efforts per the following format. We must teach our youth about the negative effects of highway and community litter plus the cost of vandalism and how it affects the image and economy every community.

    This competition will recognize the first, second and third place entries in each of the three school categories (High School, Middle school and Elementary school) and there will be an overall winner selected; there are no prizes, only bragging rights.

    These eight questions can yield a maximum of 380 points and will determine the outcome of this contest.  Contest Questions:

All contest submissions are to be formatted so they can be easily printed out with the push of the “print” command, including photographs. Make your submission easy to share with others. There is no limit to the number of pages of text that you can submit. (40 points)

    The Symbolism of Jan. 6

    By Tommy Acosta
    Don’t mess with symbols. Just ask author Dan Brown’s character Robert Landon. The worth of symbols cannot be measured. Symbols make the world-go-round. Symbols carry the weight of a thousand words and meanings. Symbols represent reality boiled down to the bone. Symbols evoke profound emotions and memories—at a very primal level of our being—often without our making rational or conscious connections. They fuel our imagination. Symbols enable us to access aspects of our existence that cannot be accessed in any other way. Symbols are used in all facets of human endeavor. One can only feel sorry for those who cannot comprehend the government’s response to the breech of the capital on January 6, with many, even pundits, claiming it was only a peaceful occupation. Regardless if one sees January 6 as a full-scale riot/insurrection or simply patriotic Americans demonstrating as is their right, the fact is the individuals involved went against a symbol, and this could not be allowed or go unpunished.
