Keep America Beautiful Litter Study - KBVB shares results
Keep America Beautiful releases the results from their national science -based 2020 litter research.

They identify if we are making progress with litter on our streets, what are our current litter issues, along with many other new litter facts.

KBVB will share their research to build a better understanding of this on-going problem. Understanding this problem is the first step to come up with effective solutions to solve litter in our communities.

3 events = 650 pounds of litter collected
Shea High School Students Pawtucket

We collected over 200 pounds of litter from around the high school, walking down to the football field and on Pleasant Street.

Such nice students & a very fun teacher -- We had a blast working together to Keep Rhody Litter Free!!
Gilbane Family Clean Up
Festival Pier * Pawtucket

We had 17 adults and 8 children, had fun and collected 150 pounds of litter. Your efforts stopped this litter from blowing in the water, which when that happens, makes it very hard to collect.
Thank you to these Gilbane families -- loved seeing your kids getting involved and using those litter grabbers!
New England Way
Multi-Business Clean-Up
Lincoln

How great are these businesses? This is the 3rd year this cul-de-sac sent employees to participate in a multi-business litter clean-up.

We enjoyed the perfect day while we collected over 300 pounds of litter. And our unique find of this cleanup --- a deer's skull. Your efforts are Keeping Blackstone Valley Beautiful!

Thank you,
ACS Industries, Art-Vac Corporation, Beacon Design by Chem Art, Calise & Sons Bakery, JD Cement Works, Tanury Industries and Windmoeller & Hoelscher Corp.
Litter Clean Ups are Still Going On.... come join us!

Keeping Rhody Litter Free is a year-round challenge. KBVB and other community groups are going strong with litter cleanups.

Stay in touch with these events, and come help out. The more volunteers the better!

Thank You for Helping our Planet
Ending litter, reducing waste & beautifying our communities can only be successful when we all get involved.

See KBVB's list of "green friends" so far this year. We hope you will also want to get involved -- we would love to add your name to our list.

Plastic Free July is a key initiative of the Plastic Free Foundation that works towards a vision of seeing a world free of plastic waste.

From its beginning in 2011 in Western Australia, Plastic Free July is now one of the most influential environmental campaigns in the world.

Every year millions of people around the globe take part in the Plastic Free July challenge, choosing to refuse single-use plastics which drastically reduces the amount of plastic waste ending up as litter or being landfilled. Many commit to reducing plastic pollution far beyond the month of July.
Plastic Free July
It's that time of year again!
