How to Make a "Litter" Bit of Difference in the Summer!
Keep a plastic shopping bag handy to collect waste on the go. Parking lots don't always provide receptacles for tailgaters, and bins can be hard to come by at festivals. Stash a plastic bag or two in your bag to collect trash and recyclables.
If you see litter on the ground, please pick it up! This one is pretty simple! We can't always expect someone else to come along and pick it up. if we want change we have to BE that change!
When going out to the lake or to any outdoor event Bring beverages and food in reusable containers. This prevents containers from becoming litter in the first place!
Become friends with your neighbors. Organize a block party cleanup of your street, and take ownership of litter prevention in your neighborhood.
Share articles about the importance of litter prevention on social media. Show your friends not only that eradication of litter is important to you but also seeing the topic popping up their feeds is a constant reminder to your followers that litter is not okay!
Report litter and illegal dumping!
