Murals in the form of grafitti have been all over cities for years and years and years. This project will be perfect to change that from a form of vandalism to art.  Personally I'm a huge believer in the impact that a visual representation has on mankind's intellect and emotion.  Your murals will have the power to motivate people to do every day, simple things to green their lives.  Maybe if someone walks by a picture of a water bottle being recycled instead of trashed, they'll think about it next time they're done with a plastic bottle and chose to chuck it in the recycling instead of garbage. And I bet you may even inspire grafitti artists to start greenin' their art as well!

Congratulations girls, I was hoping you would win! This will be a great way to recycle, reuse, beautify the city, educate the city, and allow residents to be involved in creating something great for their neighborhoods.

I am looking forward to hearing more about your murals on trash compactors, walls, and other places of interest is a great way to get involved and for people to take notice of the new graffiti. I would like to incorporate something like this for my Kids Club of Copper Basin to get involved in for our community. Go to: www.carruthandassociate.org to see my kids club. Keep up the goood work!
