Pssst, pssst, hey. 2023 was a bit of a sleeper year for LP (I mean we picked a decent amount of litter but it was otherwise quiet on the litter education front). Good news though, the future is bright. We’ve been dreaming up and have started constructing an educational product that we hope to launch in the Fall of 2024. Stay tuned to our social media (Facebook and Instagram) for updates! 🏴☠️🏴☠️🏴☠️

We made it.Wowza. 2021 kinda seemed harder than 2020, was it just me? Maybe 2020 and 2021 just feel like one long year of both big changes and little change. It was a hard one for me, I'm not gonna lie, but, I'm still here, still picking, still poking litter stakeholders. For how much longer? Time will tell. If you're new here, welcome. I updated my 'about' page for the year and have pasted it below so we can catch up. Here's to a great (a better) 2022! 🥤🏴☠️ Hey. I'm Paul. Nice to meet you. I'm the Litter Pirate.
