Clean Biz Partnership

A Clean Louisiana is Good for Business

Addressing the litter problem in Louisiana is a responsibility we all must share. In order to engage Louisiana businesses in reducing and preventing litter, the Clean Biz Partnership was developed by Keep Louisiana Beautiful and the Louisiana Chamber of Commerce Executives (LACCE). This is a new program and there are incentives for participating Chambers and businesses. All businesses, large and small, are encouraged to participate. A Chamber of Commerce membership is not required.
