Three state agencies in New Mexico—the Departments of Transportation, Tourism, and Environment—have awarded $4.7 million in grants to 97 local entities. The funding supports projects aimed at enhancing the state's cleanliness and beauty.
The initiative is part of the #BreakingBadHabits campaign, which encourages residents to preserve New Mexico's landscape. Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham emphasized the importance of this effort, stating, "New Mexico is the most beautiful state in the nation and it’s time for all of us to commit to ‘Breaking Bad Habits’ of littering and trashing our state." She added that these grants are crucial in efforts to eliminate litter and protect the state's natural beauty.
