Free market solution to plastic pollution
All across Texas, from the Gulf Coast to the Panhandle, from Piney Woods to Permian Basin, communities are working to build a better tomorrow.
​
We focus on free market solutions that are voluntary, clean up Texas, and keep our fish and wildlife safe while putting money in the pockets of Texans.
​
ABOUT US
The goal of Texans for Clean Water is to organize a statewide group of business leaders, industries, and NGOs through a common initiative to prevent and remove waterborne litter. Restoring the viability of our waterways improves neighborhoods, brings recreational opportunities to our communities, and encourages economic growth.
