Litter is a problem that starts with the action of a single person. The careless smoker who tosses her cigarette butt out the car window. The construction worker who doesn't secure the load in the bed of his truck. The football fan who doesn't feel like carrying his tailgate leftovers to a trash can on the other side of the parking lot. They're all litterers, even if they don't realize it.

The good news is that the litter solution can start with a single person, too.

Whether you live in Dalton or Douglas, Atlanta or Albany, Toccoa or Tifton, litter is a problem in your community. You can change that by learning more about litter, its sources and prevention strategies.  Then find out how you can take action where you live.
