Love the Boot kickoff

From left, Jean Johnson, Mona Redlich and Donna Baltakis, director of Keep Eunice Beautiful, attended Keep Louisiana Beautiful kickoff for Love the Boot Week in Baton Rouge. The trio displayed “seed balls,” a recycling/beautification project. Taking newspaper and water to make a pulp, then forming it into a ball, then rolling it into plant seeds. The ball can then be planted. This teaches recycling and gardening. Keep Eunice Beautiful will have its Love the Boot clean-up event Saturday. Volunteers can register at City Hall from 8:30 to 9 a.m., receive supplies and a t-shirt, then go out from 9 to 11 a.m. to pick up trash or refurbish gardens. At 11 or 11:30 a.m. volunteers are asked to bring trash back to dispose of properly and be part of a group picture at City Hall. (Submitted photo)
