Love the Boot Week 2024 is less than a month away!
Love the Boot Week is Louisiana’s largest litter cleanup and beautification event, in celebration of Earth Day on April 22, 2024. According to Love the Boot’s website, in 2023, 12,777 individuals volunteered a total of 61,493 hours, removing 313 tons of litter in all 64 parishes. In addition to litter removal, volunteers focused on community beautification, planting 370 trees and 3,542 plants, and refurbishing 146 gardens. Join Love the Boot Week efforts in April to bring awareness to our state’s litter problem and promote litter prevention.
Love the Boot Week will take place April 20-28, 2024 and will feature dozens of events across the state– but don’t worry! There will be lots hosted right down the road in Terrebonne and Lafourche Parishes. Check out some of the official and local Love the Boot cleanups below:
