This Earth Day, Keep America Beautiful encourages all individuals to pick-up 152 pieces of litter. Why 152? According to the latest Litter in America Study, if EVERYONE made the individual action of picking up 152 pieces of litter (all at once) there would be no litter on the ground until someone littered again. #152andyou 152. That’s the amount of litter each person in America needs to pick up to make our nation a litter-free place. Join the 152 Challenge with Keep America Beautiful this Earth Day. #152andyou
