“NOLA Zydeco Fest is excited to join Keep Louisiana Beautiful’s efforts to reduce litter in Louisiana,” said Co-Founder Gabrielle Deculus. “We will be using our communication platforms to uplift this important issue and encourage citizens to do their part to Let Louisiana Shine.”
“We need everyone in every parish to take a stand against litter and help clean up Louisiana,” said Susan Russell, KLB Executive Director. “Litter is 81% intentional, yet 100% preventable. It’s time to hold ourselves accountable and commit to implementing the changes required to improve our communities for our children and the generations to come.
