This competition has a simple goal: Inspire lots of people (big and little) to take steps to make their own homes a little healthier and easier on the environment. The 2008 Natural State Expo Playhouse Competition will show both kids and adults how we can all take action to make our homes healthier and more environmentally sustainable. Groups of young people from across the state of Arkansas are invited to submit playhouses of their own original invention. The playhouses should inspire children and adults to take steps—small or large—to make their homes a little greener. | ||
