Keep Sugar Land Beautiful

In May, KSLB and the City of Sugar Land partnered to present two highly entertaining environmental education programs in local public and private schools. Water, Water Everywhere, a comical show about water quality issues featuring Jack Golden, reached over 2000 students and 90 teachers. With the help of H-GAC grant funding, Steve Trash's magical mix of illusion, comedy, and ecology entertained and impacted over 3,100 students and 140 teachers.

Keep Sugar Land Beautiful recently won a $10,000 UPS Foundation Community Improvement Grant to provide six Planet Earth Carts to local schools. The Planet Earth Cart is an environmental education resource that includes books, games, DVD's, and hands on activities. The UPS grant was given to only 16 Keep America Beautiful affiliates across the nation. The award supports organizations with outstanding litter prevention, waste reduction, recycling, beautification and community greening programs.

Keep Sugar Land Beautiful in partnership with Whole Foods Market invites you to join us for refreshments and recycling tips at the Whole Foods Market in Sugar Land on Saturday, March 6 at 1:00 pm. What can be recycled in your curbside bin? Where can you donate gently used items for reuse? Where can you recycle your cell phone or computer? This is the perfect opportunity to have your recycling questions answered – please plan to join us!

Keep Sugar Land Beautiful in partnership with the City of Sugar Land, the Houston Galveston Area Council, and the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality brought the nationally recognized "Garbage is My Bag" show to the public and private middle school sixth graders in Sugar Land on May 12 and May 13.

Would you like a Healthy Beautiful Lawn that saves you money, time, and effort?

Texans spend over $300 million each year to dispose of yard waste in landfills. Billions are spent in total yard care costs: watering, fertilizing, chemicals to combat harmful insects and plant diseases, and professional services.

If you are interested in discussing a prospective Eagle Scout Project, please complete the Eagle Scout Project Application.  Keep Sugar Land Beautiful will be glad to discuss project ideas with you once we receive your form.  Please allow ample time for your project approval, meetings with KSLB, and completion time for your project.

The Planet Earth Cart, developed by Keep Sugar Land Beautiful, is a mobile cart stocked with fiction and non fiction books, games, DVDs, and hands on activities that may be incorporated into lesson plans by educators.  Students and teachers in grades k-5 will be able to utilize this environmental educational resource.

Environmental education enables students to understand and appreciate their community. One goal is to increase student awareness and in doing so help them develop habits that will improve and protect our environment. The Planet Earth Carts are sponsored by organizations, businesses, schools, foundations or individuals in partnership with Keep Sugar Land Beautiful.

Keep Sugar Land Beautiful has a Speaker’s Bureau that is available to speak to youth or adult groups on recycling, waste minimization, beautification, litter prevention, and  nonpoint source pollution.
