The Problem

Join us in helping to clean-up our own little corner of the world from excess bead waste 🌎 "An estimated 25 million pounds of plastic beads are thrown annually, according to a 2021 report published in the LSU Journal of Energy Law and Resources, with less than 2% recycled.The rest regularly wind up in landfills or in streets, where they're washed into nearby waterways. In 2018, New Orleans removed over 93,000 pounds of plastic beads clogging its storm drains."

Our Plan

Clean-up beads + trash after a Mardi Gras Parade. Meet us at Fallo-Pleasant Municipal Parking (beside Pleasant's BBQ) for a post-parade bead clean-up with Ms. Summer and special guests Laura Oakes and Jason Payne!
