We want to change the culture around litter—but we need you. There are more jobs and opportunities than ever
before in Calcasieu Parish, but in order to reach our full potential, we have to address our litter problem.
The purpose of the Pick It Up movement is to give you the tools to create sustainable change. Below
are some easy steps that will help you get there.
Commit to a Clean Lifestyle
Each of us has an opportunity to make a difference, and it starts with a simple decision to live a clean lifestyle. Realizing your daily choices have an impact on the world around you is the first step to effecting true change.
Come Up with a Plan
Now it's time to develop a plan. Here are some ideas to get you started:
Join a Group
You don't have to effect change alone. Plan a group cleanup through our Adopt-a-Spot program or message us to be paired with an existing group. This is a great opportunity to earn community service hours or just meet like-minded people in your area. Supplies provided.
Spread the Word
A major part of the Pick It Up movement is highlighting the positive changes that are already taking place in Calcasieu Parish and inspiring others to get involved. You can use the hashtag #pickitupcalcasieu when posting about your efforts to adopt a cleaner lifestyle and share posts from our social media accounts to yours.
