As part of the campaign, KLB is providing supplies, recognition, and branded marketing toolkits to participating chambers and enrolled businesses to display in their place of business. According to KLB Executive Director Susan Russell, a recent litter public attitude survey conducted in Louisiana showed that 89% of those polled stated they believe litter negatively impacts businesses by decreasing revenues.
“Litter is a problem that affects the health and vitality of all communities in Louisiana,” said Russell. “Street flooding, property values, tourism, our state’s image, the environment, and our businesses are all impacted by litter. It’s a responsibility that we all must share, including the business community, to make meaningful change and keep our communities litter free.”`
Clean Biz partnership is a program created by Keep Louisiana Beautiful to help reduce and prevent litter and is asking local businesses to show their community pride by joining the effort.
