Amaife’s video was a Finalist in the 6th through 8th 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.
Amafie’s video highlights that the average Texan contributes around five pounds of trash to landfills daily. She offers tips to reduce this number by using reusable bags, donating clothes, and recycling, which also helps prevent litter. Her message is that we have the power to reduce what we throw away through simple changes—a significant benefit to our great state.
