Earth Month is a great time to organize a beautification or cleanup event with your family, friends, business, or community groups! All Texans can get involved and do their part to keep our state great. Not sure how to get started?
The best way to start is by identifying an improvement you can make in your neighborhood or community. Ideas for beautification projects include cleaning up a local park, planting trees, or starting a school or office garden. Before proceeding with your project, always be sure you have permission from the appropriate authorities.
Once you’ve identified your goal, get others involved. Encourage your family and friends to do their part. Post in your neighborhood or community Facebook group to inform your neighbors. Expand your event by inviting local churches, college or university groups, or teens needing community service hours. A beautification project can also be a great team building event. Gather your coworkers for a quick cleanup during your lunch break. No matter how small or large your group is, your project will still make a positive impact on the Texas environment.
It’s important to get kids involved too. Check out these helpful tips from Keep Texas Beautiful to make your event a valuable experience for even the youngest Texans.
