Gavin’s video qualified as an Honorable Mention 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. You can learn more about our annual 6th-12th grade video contest on our Video Contest webpage.
Gavin’s video follows a discarded energy bar wrapper as it floats down a stream. He points out how our trash can easily turn into litter and impact our wildlife and environment. At the end of the video, someone reaches into the water to remove the floating wrapper. His message to us is to “be the difference,” and take care of Texas.
