COLUMBIA, S.C. (WOLO) – Palmetto Pride is using art to remind people that litter trashes everyone.

This morning the group unveiled this mural on Candi Lane near Riverbanks Zoo.

They say the mural is part of their larger effort to reduce litter and crime rates in the Columbia community.

Through a partnership with One Columbia to find the artist to complete this mural and the grant from PalmettoPride, Austin ‘Slim’ Gee was commissioned to complete the project.

This mural is the first of five public art projects that will be installed throughout Columbia.
