Greener Grounds
Reduce Event Waste and Litter
Greener Grounds
Keep Louisiana Beautiful partnered with French Quarter Festivals, Inc. to create the free 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.
Why is litter prevention and waste management important for your event?
- It’s your responsibility as an event producer.
- It’s the right thing to do for the environment.
- It builds brand equity and community goodwill; successful waste management will reflect positively on your event and organization.
We encourage you to use the guidebook in conjunction with your municipality’s waste management requirements and resources, as they vary from parish to parish. We understand events vary in size, audience, and location, so utilize the information most relevant to your organization’s needs.
