Keep America Beautiful
Congratulations to Daniels, Florence Hill and SGP for receiving their Keep America Beautiful School certification. These three campuses are among the first five in the country to complete the requirements by:
- measuring changes in litter on campus after an awareness campaign, intervention, and cleanup
- conducted a waste audit and found solutions to reduce, reuse, and recycle
- created a tree trail on their campus which includes environmental and economic benefits. Check them out http://texasforestinfo.tamu.edu/treetrails/
