“The University Affiliate Grant program was developed as part of a $500,000 five-year EPA Gulf of Mexico Trash-Free Waters Grant secured in 2021 by the University of Louisiana at Lafayette, with Keep Louisiana Beautiful as a sub-recipient. The funding has created and launched the University Affiliate program, developed a litter assessment app, developed educational training videos for campus communities, and grant opportunities for University Affiliates. The program is in response to a growing interest in sustainability, waste reduction, and litter prevention at the university level.”

So basically a half million dollar grant to figure out how to educate college students to pick up after themselves.

They probably could have just taken 2 dollars from every refillable water bottle sold, and it would have been way more than $5K

At $1. 50 a bottle they could have generated twice that at the Tulane game.
