Help Us Change the Culture Around Litter
If we ignore it… they live in it.
Clean communities don’t happen because someone else cleans up after us.
They happen when businesses, residents, schools, government, and community organizations share an expectation:
We don’t litter here.
Litter Steals Their Future is designed to help turn that expectation into a lasting change in behavior.
You can help bring the message into your community.
Put the Message Where People Will See It

Help remind your neighbors, customers, employees, and visitors that keeping our communities clean is everyone’s responsibility.

Businesses Can Make an Even Bigger Difference
Litter isn’t only a government expense.
Businesses bear a significant share of the cost of cleaning litter from parking lots, sidewalks, storefronts, shopping centers, and other commercial property.
Those expenses eventually become part of the cost of doing business.
Preventing litter is better, and less expensive than continually paying to clean it up.
Businesses can help us change that behavior.

Put “Litter Steals Their Future” on a Billboard in Your Community
Become a Billboard Co-Sponsor
Businesses and community partners can make an even larger impact by co-sponsoring a Litter Steals Their Future billboard.
The co-sponsor selects and pays for the billboard location for a three-month campaign.
The co-sponsor’s logo is then incorporated into the billboard artwork in the lower-left corner, replacing the current Supply Chains for Good logo.
The campaign message remains:
If we ignore it… they live in it.
Co-sponsoring a billboard gives businesses an opportunity to visibly invest in the community where their employees and customers live and work while helping spread a message designed to create lasting behavior change.
Why this matters to business
Why This Matters to Business
Litter has a cost, even when that cost doesn’t appear as a line item labeled “litter.”
Businesses pay for:
- Parking lot and property cleanup
- Employee time spent removing litter
- Waste hauling and disposal
- Property maintenance
- Cleanup around storefronts and entrances
And communities bear the cost through public cleanup and maintenance.
Someone always pays for litter.
The better solution is to prevent it.
One Message. An Entire Community.
Imagine seeing the same message:
On a billboard during your morning commute.
In the window of the business where you buy your coffee.
In your neighbor’s yard.
At your child’s school.
And then seeing businesses, residents, schools, and local government working together to reinforce it.
That’s how a campaign can become a community expectation.
And a community expectation can become a habit.
Be Part of the Solution
Whether you download the artwork and display the message, organize a neighborhood cleanup, keep your business property litter-free, or co-sponsor a billboard, you can help.
Every piece counts.
Every person can make a difference.
And every child deserves a clean community to inherit.
