Today’s Lesson: Stop littering before it starts. It’s never too late or too soon to learn about litter. Whether you’re a student, teacher or just want to fill your head with garbage, Don’t Mess with Texas has the resources you need to ace Litter 101.
Hello Teachers?
If you teach driver’s ed, it’s especially important to educate students about litter prevention before they hit the road, as litter and traffic go hand-in-hand.
If you teach biology or environmental science, litter’s negative effects and prevention education should be a natural fit. Plus, the Don’t Mess with Texas Curriculum Kit meets TEKS requirements for high-school science.
Outreach Program
Litter Force – This educational outreach campaign featuring illustrated superheroes and trash villains educates elementary-age children about littering, and how they can “Blast the Trash” and protect Texas roadways. Learn more.
