Greener Grounds

Helping You Reduce Litter and Manage Waste at Your Outdoor Events

In 2023, Keep Louisiana Beautiful partnered with French Quarter Festivals, Inc. to create the Greener Grounds Guidebook and Workbook to provide practical ways that you, as an event organizer, can plan to manage and reduce waste, increase recycling, and prevent litter at your event.  The guidebook and workbook are free to use.

 

Why are litter prevention and waste management important pillars of your event?

  1. It’s your responsibility as an event producer.

  2.  It’s the right thing to do for the environment.

  3.  It builds brand equity and community goodwill; successful waste management will reflect positively on your event and organization.

Greener Grounds Guidebook and Workbook

This guidebook and corresponding workbook will be a springboard in determining which tactics suit your outdoor event’s approach to minimizing litter and waste. We understand events vary in size, audience, and location, so utilize the information most relevant to your organization’s unique needs. We highly recommend using this guide as a complementary tool to your municipality’s waste management requirements and resources as they vary from parish to parish. Direct questions about the guidebook and workbook to info@keeplouisianabeautiful.org.

Order Copies of the Greener Grounds Guidebook and Workbook

Please allow for 1-2 weeks for the guidebooks and workbooks to be delivered. We invite you to learn more about the Greener Grounds program in our recorded webinar.
