Keep Houston Beautiful stimulates public awareness about the impact of litter and waste in our environment. KHB develops comprehensive public education and training programs that target citizens, students and educators. KHB collaborates with existing organizations in an effort to integrate solid waste education and environmental stewardship into their programs.

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.
