Litter. It Costs You Media
Kit
Includes logos, public service announcements, Fact Sheets,
advertisements and sample newsletter articles to help you
spread the Litter. It Costs You message in your community.
Graffiti Hurts®
Graffiti Hurts® - Care for Your Community is aimed at
educating individuals about the consequences of graffiti in
their communities. Graffiti is harmful to everyone --
homeowners, businesses, schools, and you. Graffiti clean up
alone costs U.S. cities tens of thousands of dollars each
year. And, research shows that graffiti can result in more
graffiti, vandalism, and crime in suburban and urban
communities. Using the Graffiti Hurts® resources,
communities can get educated about graffiti and build local
partnerships to prevent and remove it.
Cigarette
Litter Prevention Program
Cigarette litter is a serious challenge for communities
across the U.S. Individuals who would never litter
beverage cans or paper packaging typically do not consider
tossing cigarette butts on the ground littering. Keep
America Beautiful, the nation's largest nonprofit community
improvement organization, has developed the "Guide to
Cigarette Litter Prevention," to combat this problem. In the
"Guide," Keep America Beautiful shares knowledge, solutions
and tools that government, businesses or individuals can put
to use to reduce cigarette litter in their communities.
