Hopefully my drawing will inspire and show others that you can achieve great things if you work hard and give it you\u2019re all as well as encourage others to think about how they can help the environment and preserve our water,\u201d said Savannah.<\/p>\n<p>Earth Day is April 29 this year. Savannah\u2019s design will only be made public two weeks before the day itself but here is a sneak peek. It will on display at City hall for two weeks prior to the Earth Day celebration through until the end of April. Savannah\u2019s design will be part of the Earth Day proclamation in City Hall on April 4 at 7 p.m.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter  wp-image-5331\" src=\"http:\/\/www.acpsk12.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/Earth_PosterEng2017_v4-233x360.jpg\" alt=\"Alexandria's Earth Day poster\" width=\"327\" height=\"505\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.acpsk12.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/Earth_PosterEng2017_v4-233x360.jpg 233w, http:\/\/www.acpsk12.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/Earth_PosterEng2017_v4-65x100.jpg 65w, http:\/\/www.acpsk12.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/Earth_PosterEng2017_v4-389x600.jpg 389w, http:\/\/www.acpsk12.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/Earth_PosterEng2017_v4.jpg 518w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 327px) 100vw, 327px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\n<p>\u201cMy design represents this year\u2019s theme because it shows how many of society\u2019s innovations have destroyed our environment.
