Why Clean Litter? • WA State Dept of Ecology Litter Hurts Program suffered 7 million in budget cuts this year reducing their ability to battle Litter in our state, We need to do our part to help! • Litter harms us all, more than most know. Most litter is blown into some form of water source, where it seeps toxic chemicals. • Garbage is unsightly. Litter can deter visitation from certain areas, hurting local businesses. • Native Plant and Wildlife are seriously harmed by litter, every year 6 million pounds of STUFF is dumped in Washington's beaches and parks.
