Texas
Information
| Because Texas is one of the most heavily populated states with substantial
agriculture and industry, keeping pollution under control is a serious
matter. Agricultural products are beef cattle, poultry, rice, pecans,
and peanuts. Texas leads the Nation in oil, cattle, sheep, and cotton
production. All of these products, if not carefully managed, can damage
the air, land, and water. Water quality is a vital concern, especially
in the semi-arid western plains. As our Nation's border with Mexico,
environmental impacts to the Rio Grande River affect both countries.
Some of Texas' environmental programs are Texas Voluntary Cleanup
Program, Clean Texas 2000, Pollution Prevention and Conservation,
Recycling, and Strategic Partnerships. |
