Lucky the Ladybug

Lucky the Ladybug is Houston's First Lady of Litter Prevention. Lucky is no stranger to litter prevention, as ladybugs actively rid gardens of pests and natural wastes.
Her message is clear; litter is unsightly and neighborhoods that are littered give the impression that people who live or work there do not care about their community. Kids can have a positive impact on this problem by not littering and by picking up litter when it is safe to handle. Most importantly, they can discourage others from littering.
There are seven sources of litter, and Lucky has seven friends that help her educate about them. If everyone does their part, Houstonians can take pride in the fact they helped keep Houston beautiful and litter-free.
Lucky the Ladybug was developed by the Ohio Department of Natural Resources Division of Recycling & Litter Prevention.

Community Leadership Training
Our many years of experience working with Houston's neighborhoods, city and county services and other community organizations gives us the expertise to know how to make things happen in our city. Our Clean Neighborhoods program is a national model for preventing urban litter, transforming neglected areas, reducing crime and revitalizing neighborhoods. We mobilize area residents and teach them how to utilize critical services and resources so that they can transform their neighborhoods into areas of beauty, pride and safety.
