The Texas Environmental Excellence Awards (TEEA) celebrate the bold efforts of citizens, communities, businesses, and organizations to preserve and protect the Texas environment.

The mission of the TEEA program is to honor the state's most outstanding waste reduction and pollution prevention projects. These award-winning programs reflect the goals of the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) itself: to protect our state's human and natural resources and ensure clean air, clean water, and the safe management of waste.
