Keep Louisiana Beautiful (KLB) and Lieutenant Governor Billy Nungesser are pleased to share a new animated video created to teach Louisiana’s elementary school students about the harmful effects of litter and how they can help keep their communities clean.
“Louisiana’s future depends on the next generation, and that’s why it’s so important to teach our young people to take pride in their state,” said Lieutenant Governor Billy Nungesser. “This new animated video from Keep Louisiana Beautiful makes learning about litter fun and memorable, showing kids that everyone — no matter how young — can be a Leader Against Litter.”
Within the video students are introduced to Rocksey the Raccoon, Allie the Alligator, Pete the Pelican, and Timmy the Turtle. Rocksey notices that litter is hurting her friends and their homes. Rocksey teaches the students ways they can help as "Leaders against Litter."
At the conclusion of the video, students are called to take a pledge to be Leaders Against Litter. This pledge can also be found in KLB’s Litter-Free Louisiana Activity Book–a free resource available at KeepLouisianaBeautiful.org. This engaging 12-page activity book teaches students about environmental stewardship, litter, and recycling. Included are activities that encourage reflection, problem-solving, and creativity.
All elementary schools, libraries, Scout groups, and other youth organizations are encouraged to utilize this video and other KLB educational resources to teach youth about litter and environmental stewardship.
