Liberty's contest highlights conservation

Children across the island showcased their artistic talents to show they care about water conservation by participating in Liberty’s Be Water Wise! Art Contest. The contest required elementary school children to draw or paint a picture and write a description of what water conservation means to them.

Students suggested not watering the lawn when it rains, turning the faucets off while brushing your teeth and taking shorter showers.

“These are all excellent suggestions that will help conserve water and improve the environment,” Chris Alario, president of Liberty NY Water, said. “I am confident these young conservationists and artists will share their suggestions and use their knowledge to make an impact in the future.”

All participants from across Long Island received certificates and reusable Liberty water bottles for their efforts and a sampling of their artwork can be seen on the Liberty website at libertyenergyandwater.com.
