Metro employees hang an Earth Day mural in the Skinker MetroLink station near the Danforth Campus April 20. The colorful mural, titled “St. Louis Kids Paint for Global Climate Change Awareness,” consists of 200 plywood puzzle pieces. The individual pieces were painted by elementary and middle school students throughout St. Louis City and County. The mural was designed by Monica Parsons (BFA ’05) and constructed by undergraduates in the honors society of the International and Area Studies program in Arts & Sciences, the Campus Y group VERDE (Volunteers for Environmental Restoration, Development and Education) and members of the Thurtene Junior Honorary. The mural will hang in the station for one year in an effort to raise consciousness about global climate change and encourage the use of public transportation to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
