Why care about litter?
Litter is not a new problem for Louisiana. For decades, litter has become increasingly detrimental to our communities, leading to a multitude of repercussions such as:
- Blight on natural areas, cities, towns, roadways, and waterways
- Death of wildlife due to polluted habitat
- Decline in quality of life in neighborhoods
- Negative impact on economic development, infrastructure, and tourism
- Flooding caused by storm drains clogged with litter and debris
Despite spending over $40 million per year on litter abatement, we are still experiencing shocking levels of litter across the state. Only together, can we make a change.
