#RIMillionPieces social media campaign

Join the movement as we encourage all RI residents to not only stop littering, but also pick up at least one piece of litter.

One million RI residents could easily remove one million pieces of litter from our state during April as we celebrate Earth Day!

Get your friends, co-workers, and family members to each pick up one piece of litter, or more if you get in the groove and share how you're helping to make Rhode Island a clean place by posting a photo on social media using #RIMillionPieces

Litter doesn’t have to stay in RI. If we all just pick up one piece, RI will be one million pieces cleaner!
