3. We traveled to various neighborhoods throughout the city of Baton Rouge and picked up litter. These communities needed much attention due to the substantial amount of waste and pollution (trash). We used flyers and posters to advertise to the community about the importance of keeping the community beautiful.

9. The different locations we visited allowed Project Litterbug to expand to various communities such as: Sherwood Forest Monticello Mid-City Park Forest Zion City Garden District BREC Park It impacted the people living in these neighborhoods by: It’s animal friendly because there is no trash for them to choke on Tidy front lawns Kids are not exposed to indecent items (cigarettes, beer bottles, contraception, narcotics, etc.)

11. We measured our success by the number of bags we collected. The overall cleanliness of each neighborhood after we finished. Let’s do the MATH… The average garbage collector makes about $16.55 per hour for 40 hours per week. That accumulates to $34,424 per year. We did a total of 8 services hours. $16.55 x 8 = $132.40 We saved the city approximately $132.40 by implementing Project Litterbug!!!!

13. Plan accordingly to the weather (avoid rain and cold) Dress accordingly (proper shoes, coats, clothes that you can get dirty) Carefully choose who you work with. ( Availability) Clear communication Know your neighborhood (safe locations)
