Ariel’s video was a Finalist in the 9th through 12th grade age bracket of the Take Care of Texas Video Contest this season.
Many Texas students worked hard to produce creative videos for the contest. The videos covered a range of topics such as tips to save energy, ways to save water, the importance of clean air and water, recycling and reducing trash, and more!
The contest runs in the fall each year. Learn more on our Video Contest webpage.
Ariel’s video addresses the major use of water for lawns and gardens, which can result in runoff water. Chemicals and fertilizers used on our landscapes can pollute our water supplies, like watersheds, lakes, rivers, and estuaries. Her message to us is to minimize excessive use of lawn chemicals and fertilizers, reduce water runoff, and take care of our state’s water supplies.
