Be a LitterHero with Tristar Reads!

Help keep Tennessee beautiful this summer with Tristar Reads! We are discussing ways to educate people and help them learn this week. Read below on ways to show off how you’re a superhero this summer AND for this week’s Superhero Challenge

Educate Others This Summer!

Don’t be a Litterbug, be a LitterHERO! Help keep your streets clean. An estimated 51 billion pieces of litter wind up on America’s roads and roadsides every year, according to the non-profit group Keep America Beautiful.

About 85 percent of all littering is the result of individual choices. By educating people and encouraging them to read, you change behaviors and may be able to reduce the amount of litter that accumulates on the ground. 

Be sure to sign up for Tristar Reads if you haven’t yet and are the parent of or are a student in grades K-12. After you sign up, you’ll also have the chance to win a $1,000 scholarship!
