Litter hurts our communities. Let’s clean up our 64 parishes. Every effort makes a difference.
Let’s put the paradise back in our Sportsman’s Paradise. Plant trees for shade or a native plant garden for pollinators.
Teaching litter prevention is the #1 goal. We can prevent littering by adopting best practices like bagging our household trash.
Recycling of #1 plastic bottles and aluminum cans is made possible in 27 parishes for Love the Boot Week 2025, thanks to Coca-Cola.
We have the tools and resources to help make your event successful! Head to the Tools & Resources page for a marketing toolkit with digital ads, social media graphics, messaging, press releases, and more! A Love the Boot Week guide is coming soon!
