Core environmental education topics for students, youth groups, and community programs.
What is Litter?
Litter is any waste that is improperly disposed of outside of trash receptacles. It affects our health, wildlife, and community appearance.
Why Clean Communities Matter
Clean communities promote physical health, mental well-being, civic pride, and environmental sustainability for everyone.
Recycling Basics
Recycling reduces waste in landfills. Common recyclables include paper, cardboard, glass, metal, and certain plastics.
Waterway Protection
Litter that reaches waterways harms fish, wildlife, and drinking water. Never dump waste near streams, rivers, or storm drains.
Parks and Public Spaces
Parks are community assets. Keeping them clean and safe benefits families, children, and wildlife that depend on these spaces.
Community Responsibility
Everyone shares responsibility for keeping their community clean. Small actions — like picking up one piece of litter — create big change.
Environmental Leadership
Environmental leaders take initiative, educate others, and inspire community action. You can be an environmental leader at any age.
