New Anti-Litter Curriculum Resources
Perhaps the single most meaningful element in the success of
any anti-litter campaign is the effect it has on students.
If we can teach our children the importance of cleaning up
our state and educate them to stop litter at its source,
then we have a chance to finally eliminate litter in South
Carolina.
As all teachers know, children can also make
a very real difference in the attitude and conduct of their
parents. That's why the children you teach are so important
to this campaign and the future of South Carolina.
PalmettoPride and the South Carolina
Department of Education have just completed the newest
anti-litter curriculum - the only curriculum that matches
the state education standards. The curriculum is set
up in the form of lesson plans for grades K-12 that
integrate education and environmental awareness.

Challenge for the Environment Grant program.
The Challenge
for the Environment Grant program is a
competitive grant designed to educate middle and high school
students and their community about the importance of keeping
the state clean and beautiful. PalmettoPride requires all
grant recipients to develop and implement programs that will
focus on anti-litter awareness, education, enforcement and
pickup; ultimately changing the behavior that creates
litter.
*If you are a grant recipient, you are
required to teach the Litter Curriculum to your students,
but you do not have to incorporate the curriculum into your
Challenge for the Environment grant application.
Education Advisory Committee
PalmettoPride would like to thank the Education Advisory
Committee members for their commitment. The purpose of this
committee is to gain input and recommendations from
education experts, to ensure that South Carolina students
are participating in anti-litter and beautification programs
that will match the curriculum standards. Our goal is to
create litter lessons and activities that will instill a
litter free attitude. We thank the following people for
making this a reality:
- Janice Conner, Special Projects Manager, SCDNR-LWCD
- Mary Jane Henderson, Education Coordinator, Richland
Conservation District
- Diane Curlee, Education Coordinator, Orangeburg
Conservation District
- Richard Chesley, SCDHEC
- Kendall Donald, Nursery Road Elementary School
- Linda Sinclair, Science Coordinator, Department of
Education
- Jay West, Erskine College
- Clara Heinsohn, Senate Education Committee
- Kathy Carter, Department of Education
- Karen Horne, Department of Education
