It drives me mad when I see litter, there is no excuse for it.We live close to a huge green which is convenient for all the children to play on, the only problem is that there seems to be an increase in litter that is left. Since the weather has become much warmer and the nights are lighter, more children gather to play a variety of sports after school and at the weekend.
Often I have to clear many plastic bottles, crisp and sweet packets up off the field. Why can't the people take the rubbish home with them? Why is there such disregard for our environment? If we all took more care and attention, what a cleaner, more healthier and inviting place our local surroundings would be.
From a different point of view, as a family we recycle as much of our rubbish as we possibly can. Why is it that there are people that still throw an enormous amount of packaging, bottles, cans and plastics away as normal domestic rubbish, when there is a facility for it to be taken away by the council for recycling. If we recycled more waste, more effectively, it would reduce the amount of waste going into landfill sites. I wish people would consider the consequences of litter and irresponsible disposal of rubbish, it really bugs me...
I also hate to see litter left lying around. It's so selfish and lazy and completly stupid as many people are littering the areas that they and their family and friends are using. Particularly around a field where many children are playing it is very disturbing. As much becuase people are littering an area where children are playing but also because it shows that our next generation, the children are developing bad habits and littering their own play areas.
ReplyDeletePeople are just getting too lazy to take home their own rubbish and bin it responsibly. It sounds so simple yet many still litter and show little regard for our environment. I would like to see the government stand up to this problem by putting more bins around so people have no excuse and then making the punishments for littering stricter.
