In 2017, Gov. John Bel Edwards signed into law Act 72 (HB 111) which ensures that litter education and prevention are taught in Louisiana public schools from kindergarten through fifth grade. Love the Boot gives schools an opportunity to engage future generations across Louisiana to show they care about our state through active participation in community cleanup events. It also provides students with the chance to learn about the importance of environmental issues at a young age.
Organize a cleanup on or around your school campus or community. Encourage the entire school to participate or engage certain grades or classes — it is up to you! Expand the cleanup to include other efforts on campus such as gardening, painting and eliminating straws in the cafeteria. Create a friendly challenge among grade levels or classes. Include parents, as well!
You’ll find a wealth of resources here to get you ready!
