TAKE 2 MINUTES
It's so easy to make a difference! Thank you for taking your time to provide Texas scientists this incredibly valuable information!
We have two ways for you to do the Take 2 for Texas surveys. You can do the quick and easy Bottle Count in 2-5 minutes all total. If you're feeling like a longer trash cleanup, we have the optional Texas 2 Step Survey that will take 30-45 minutes.
TAKE 2 BOTTLE COUNT
Find a spot along a waterway. You will count every beverage bottle you pickup. Only one person should count/ pickup during your two minutes.
-
Count bottles for two minutes as you walk along slowly and pick them up. Look carefully, bottles are great at hiding and being hard to see!
-
At the end of the two minutes write down your count as total number of bottles. Put the bottles in a recycling or trash can.
Go to the Take 2 for Texas website and report your number of bottles.
That's it! How easy was that?
If you're a awesome person that likes to go above and beyond, we have the Texas 2 Step Survey you can do in the same location as the Bottle Count.
TEXAS 2 STEP SURVEY
-
Along your 100 ft line, pick up every single piece of trash you see.
-
Try to get any piece of trash the size of a cigarette butt or larger.
-
On plastic film and stryrofoam fragments, there may be just too many broken bits to count. You can do a visual estimate in those cases.
-
-
After you've collected all the trash, record the number of individual items on the Texas 2 Step datasheet.
-
Be sure to mark trash in the correct row and to fill out your site information!
