Envirothon builds awareness. It helps show tomorrow's leaders the positive and negative effects individual actions have on the environment. Youth who take part understand differences between renewable and nonrenewable resources, understand environmental interactions and interdependencies, and know who provides information and assistance with environmental matters.

How it works
Teams of five students, representing a school or organization, compete by answering questions and by studying resource problems in each of the five environmental areas.

Before the competition, students study, with their advisors, to develop a greater understanding the environment.

At the Envirothon competition, students test their knowledge under the supervision of environmental instructors. Students use teamwork to develop creative solutions to environmental problems.
