rubbish!
Litter urrrgh, it’s ugly smelly and attracts
rats and kills wildlife. But as ecological crises go, it’s
pretty far down the list. If you’re worried about the
rubbish you can see blowing around the street, think of all
the rubbish you can’t...
Litter is just the waste you can see, it is
just the tip of the iceberg.
Each year in Britain we use up: 6 billion drinks cans, 12
billion food cans, 1.7 million tons of glass, each of us uses
up to 2 trees worth of paper every year.
What a load of rubbish! or is it? Find out where
your rubbish goes and where it could be going...
Reduce, reuse, recycle
Follow the three ‘r’s and we can all cut down
on the amount of rubbish we produce. By cutting down, repairing
and reusing and by recycling or composting what we do throw
away we’ll be doing our bit to shrink that mountain
of trash.
