As we leave 2020 and enter 2021, nearly the entire state is experiencing drought conditions.
There have been several harsh droughts in Texas’ history; notably, the seven-year drought of the 1950s, and the major drought beginning in 2010 and lasting through 2015. Learn more on TCEQ's Drought Response webpage.

The Mickey Leland Environmental Internship Program is a one-of-a-kind experience that offers college students an unparalleled glimpse into the future of environmental science and conservation, helping them launch their careers.
Undergraduate and Graduate college students learn about environmental issues and gain professional work experience through a paid, full-time summer internship, either at the TCEQ, other state agencies, or in the private sector in Texas.

This is the season for committing to positive change. How about including a resolution to reduce plastic use?
Think about the products you use every day. Do many of them contain plastic? Each stage of plastic's life cycle—from raw materials to manufacturing to disposal—requires resources like energy and water. By purchasing less plastic, you'll help save these precious materials.
