Over the past 10 years the litter in the UK has become out of control - I hate driving anywhere now. Even country roads are full of litter. It just makes me so sad. Surely it isn't just me?

Please sign this petition (I didn't start it but it's already got 3k signatures and needs 10k) to call on government to sort out the clean up of our towns and roadways...

I've signed and so has DH. I've distributed the link to lots of family and friends,

Educational campaigns are the way to go, so children go home and tell their parents off!

I have used AI to help me plan a 6 month anti-litter campaign - template letters to local MPs, schools, parish council, adverts to get people out picking litter, awareness in local papers and on SM groups,

it has to become as stigmatised as drink driving and smoking, peer pressure is powerful.

This sounds great

Signed, bumping for the weekend. I will be doing my weekly tidy up of the hedges in the village today. It's mostly drinks and food wrappers thrown from cars. So disappointing that it's local residents that do this. We are not en route to anywhere, so it's only local traffic.
