TEACHING TEXAS

Education has always been a core element of the Don’t mess with Texas^® mission. Since 1986, we have been dedicated not only to educating Texans about how litter harms our state, but also to teaching younger generations not to litter in the first place. When young Texans build good habits early, they build them for life. Learning to dispose of trash properly is definitely a good habit. Let us help you teach Texans of all ages that Don’t mess with Texas means don’t litter.

Lesson Plans

Teachers from elementary school to high school can teach students about keeping Texas clean with our comprehensive lesson plans. These FREE guides offer fun and engaging activities for your classroom.
