Bottoms up! This universally appreciated gift idea helps keep Baton Rouge beautiful
Last month, the Louisiana Stormwater Coalition announced partnerships with Keep Tiger Town Beautiful, Clean Pelican, BREC and Keep Louisiana Beautiful in its mission to reduce single-use plastic bottle use in Baton Rouge. Their suggestion: giving reusable water bottles as a holiday gift that works double duty as a way to reduce litter.
“Single-use plastic bottles were the number one littered item picked up during Keep Louisiana Beautiful’s Love the Boot Week in April,” says Susan Russell, executive director of Keep Louisiana Beautiful. “Knowing that 80% of litter in waterways starts on land should motivate us all to reduce the use of single-use disposables in our daily lives. Try packing a refillable water bottle in your child’s lunch, take one to work, or bring one to the gym. Simple changes like this make Louisiana a cleaner, more beautiful place to live.”
Look above and below for just a few of the places around town where you can find reusable bottles for wrapping under the tree:
