A cleaner, greener Eagle Pass isn’t just a dream—it’s a goal we can achieve together! Recycling Day is the perfect time to commit to reducing waste, protecting our environment, and preserving the beauty of our city. But we need more than just one day of action—we need a long-term plan.
As your future mayor, I am committed to making sustainability a priority by expanding recycling programs, promoting eco-education, and working with businesses to reduce plastic waste. Together, we can create a healthier and more sustainable Eagle Pass.
The Importance of Recycling and Sustainability
Why Recycling Matters
Recycling isn’t just about throwing plastic into a blue bin—it’s about reducing pollution, conserving resources, and protecting wildlife. When we recycle, we cut down on waste that ends up in landfills and waterways, keeping Eagle Pass clean and thriving.
How Waste Affects Our City
Without proper waste management, our streets, parks, and rivers suffer. Litter and plastic pollution harm local wildlife and contaminate our environment. It’s time for Eagle Pass to take bold steps toward sustainability.
A Plan for a Greener Eagle Pass
Expanding Recycling Programs
I will advocate for:
- More recycling bins in public spaces like parks and community centers.
- Curbside recycling services to make recycling easier for families.
- Electronic waste collection days to properly dispose of old electronics.
Eco-Education in Schools
Teaching our children the importance of sustainability is key to creating lasting change. I will work with local schools to:
- Introduce eco-friendly programs that teach students about recycling and conservation.
- Encourage hands-on learning through school gardens and sustainability projects.
- Host city-wide competitions to promote green initiatives among students.
Partnering with Businesses to Reduce Plastic Waste
Local businesses play a major role in reducing waste. I will work to:
- Encourage businesses to switch to biodegradable packaging.
- Provide incentives for companies that reduce plastic waste.
- Support initiatives that promote reusable containers and recycling-friendly operations.
What You Can Do to Help
Simple Steps for a Greener Home
- Recycle paper, plastic, and glass properly.
- Reduce single-use plastics by using reusable bags and bottles.
- Compost food waste to create nutrient-rich soil.
- Support local eco-friendly businesses that prioritize sustainability.
Let’s Build a Sustainable Future—Together!
Creating a cleaner Eagle Pass starts with us. By working together—as residents, businesses, and city leaders—we can make real, lasting changes that benefit our community and future generations.
I’m ready to lead this movement, but I need your support. Let’s commit to a cleaner, greener Eagle Pass!
