Our focus today for Love the Boot Week is reusable grocery bags! Billions of plastic bags are used in the US each year and become waste that takes centuries to degrade. Reusable bags can protect the environment from plastic pollution. If you can't commit to reusable bags, consider recycling your plastic bags. Many of our local stores have recycling bins near their front doors. A few stores that accept bags are Rouses, Winn Dixie, Kohl's, and Lowes. Save your bags and drop them off each time you head to the store, and you'll make a big difference. Keep Louisiana Beautiful #lovetheboot #letlouisianashine
Love the Boot Week-Litter
Love the Boot Week-Today's focus is litter.
Please put it in a can!
🗑 According to a litter study conducted by Keep America Beautiful, 76% of roadway litter originates from motorists and pedestrians. Individual actions by motorists, pedestrians, improperly covered trucks, and cargo loads are the source of roadway litter.
🚬 Cigarette butts are the most frequently littered item. Tobacco products comprise 38% of all U.S. roadway litter and take years to disintegrate.
Take it with you and dispose of it properly!
Come get a KSB trash bag for your car at Earth Fest this Sunday!

It's Love the Boot Week! Follow along as we join Keep Louisiana Beautiful for a week of education and awareness. Today's topic is reusable cups! Americans purchase about 50 billion water bottles per year, averaging about 13 bottles per month for every person in the U.S.! (www.earthday.org). That means by using a reusable water bottle, you could save an average of 156 plastic bottles annually. DON'T BE LIKE MIKE! Post a picture with your reusable cup below to be entered to win a Love the Boot t-shirt! #LoveTheBoot #LetLouisianaShin
