Let Louisiana Shine Launches Statewide

On the heels of Love the Boot Week, to keep the momentum going, Keep Louisiana Beautiful launched the statewide litter prevention media campaign, Let Louisiana Shine. The main goal of this campaign is to create awareness around the issue of litter and provide the public with tips on how to combat litter in everyday life. Simple actions like covering your trash cans with lids and cleaning out your truck bed can reduce the amount of litter tarnishing our beloved Sportsman’s Paradise. This campaign has already reached millions of people, and we hope it will inspire many to take pride in their communities.
