Businesses can help, too.
Be an Industry Leader
Businesses are a crucial part of our initiative to clean up Calcasieu Parish. As a business, you play a vital role in changing the culture around litter, starting from the standards you set for your employees. We can provide you with the tools needed to train and equip your staff to help build a cleaner, safer work environment.
Commit to a Clean Office Style
- Try picking up a certain amount of litter per week or per month. Five pieces, 10 pieces, 25 pieces—anything makes a difference.
- Try using more sustainable office products.
- Implement a recycling routine (see Team Green for info on drop-off sites in Lake Charles).
- Buy a water filter to cut down on plastic bottles.
- Follow us on social media for tips, education and more.
