St. John the Baptist Parish receives Greener Grounds Grant

The Keep Louisiana Beautiful organization brings people together to build and sustain vibrant, clean communities. They provide the right tools and resources to prevent litter, reduce waste, increase recycling, and protect the natural resources of our communities. The mission is to promote personal, corporate, and community responsibility for a clean and beautiful Louisiana.

Key initiatives include:

  • Increasing community capacity through our litter cleanups and recycling collections, grant programs, trainings, and annual state conference
  • Improving policy and infrastructure to make it easier for people to do the right thing through our grants programs, advocacy, and data collection
  • Strengthening environmental law enforcement through enforcement legislation support, ordinance templates, and a litter court handbook
  • Influencing positive behavior through education with our K-5 litter education curriculum, teacher trainings, public awareness campaigns and motorist education programs
