Trash4Ca$h Scholarship Competition
My friends and I are competing in this competition called Trash4Ca$h! It’s a scholarship that is hosted by Don’t Mess With Texas. All high schoolers in Texas can do it..It’s really cool! The deadline is in early April. The rules are to form a group. You and your group need to create something that has to do with litter prevention. The goal is to see who can reduce the most litter in the most creative way..something that will get people talking about it. On their website, they have stuff like organizing community-wide cleanups or going to elementary schools and speaking to them about how littering is bad. Also, you could make cool shirts and have all your friends wear them or make posters and post them everywhere. Just anything to get the word out there that litter is horrible. They choose 5 winners, those 5 groups get 1,000 bucks each!!!!!
