Details:
The purpose of KLB’s Greener Grounds Grant is to provide funding for resources, and to provide education via the Greener Grounds guidebook and workbook, to aid event organizers in incorporating practical ways to plan and manage operations resulting in better waste reduction, increased recycling and litter prevention at large Louisiana outdoor events. This grant funds efforts to ensure the waste created by outdoor events does not threaten the environment. Keeping event sites clean not only enhances the attendee experience but also stops the detrimental cycle of mismanaged waste becoming litter that will clog Louisiana’s storm drains or enter the waterways – an issue that will ultimately harm the state’s coastline, wildlife and water quality.
