Don't Mess with Texas, y'all

The Don't Mess with Texas campaign has been running in Texas for over 20 years now with great success. My favorite tool of the effort is the Report A Litterer form that's available from the campaign website. If you're in Texas and see a vehicle with a Texas license plate litter, jot down the following info:

• Texas license plate number (Texas plates only)
• Make of vehicle
• Time of day
• Location
• Date
• Who tossed (driver, passenger or accidental)
• What was tossed

You can then visit the form and report the violation. They won't get a ticket but they will get some awareness in the mail: The litterer will receive a Don't Mess with Texas litterbag along with a letter reminding them to keep their trash off of our roads.

If you're a Texan and want to display your support for this anti-litter effort, you can request a free litter bag and "Don't Mess with Texas" bumper sticker or window cling.
