"Litter Trashes Everyone"
 PalmettoPride, with the Columbia Marionette Theatre has presented Litter Trashes Everyone, a free show to all elementary students featuring marionettes and hand puppets that convey the message to children that every citizen has a responsibility to help keep South Carolina beautiful. The puppet show, which targets children in grades K-4, has reached over 384,900 of South Carolina's children.

Challenge for the Environment Grant
The grants provide an opportunity for South Carolina schools to perform litter reduction activities and/or beautification projects in and out of the classroom. The grant cycle begins each September.

Litter Curriculum
PalmettoPride has contracted with the Department of Education to develop K-12 anti-litter and beautification lessons that match the current curriculum standards. The lesson plans are available for teachers statewide and are downloadable from the teacher resource page.

PalmettoPride Promise Program
This new program is aimed at elementary school students to raise awareness of the litter problem in South Carolina. The program promotes the importance of an ongoing effort to help keep South Carolina beautiful.

After listening to a program given by Miss South Carolina highlighting some of the problems and solutions regarding litter, students will sign a promise to assist in the effort to keep South Carolina litter free. Upon signing the promise, students will then receive a bracelet to serve as a continuous reminder of this pledge and ensure the students’ commitment to the eradication of litter in South Carolina.

Collegiate Recycling Program
PalmettoPride and university athletic programs have developed a recycling program at stadiums dedicated to changing the behavior of sports fans.  PalmettoPride purchases recycling bins to encourage recycling during events. Our goal is to be present at all universities and colleges reaching students as well as sports fans with the anti-litter message.
