Our Exhibit

We All Need Food and Water will do 5 to 10-minute puppet shows on the hour and half-hour. After each show, kids and their adults will sort pictures of the actions they learned about into “stop” or “go” piles and/or make sock puppets to take home with them. Participants will be encouraged to perform the show for others to spread the environmental messages by accessing the show’s script. In addition, we will encourage people to make pledges in front of an American flag to increase their environmental commitments.
