Bad News• Litter

What is litter?

Litter can be described as ‘rubbish that is in the wrong place’

It can be food, chewing gum, crisp packets, plastic bags and banana skins – in fact, any item left by a person that

should not be there.

Why do people litter?• Too lazy• Too busy playing• There aren’t enough bins • The bins are in the wrong place • The bins aren’t emptied often enough • The bins aren’t big enough • It’s OK to litter if no one can see you!
