I was at the first Earth Day! As sixth graders at P.S. 20 in the lower east side of Manhattan, we had a class project to study pollution. To our delight, we made art out of garbage. At the earth day gathering we held up our home-made signs raising our voices to protect mother earth. It was a profound experience for us.

Fast forward to now, I am honored to be part of a collaboration of artists and scientists as we raise our voices again.
