While many environmental issues are global in nature there is a major environmental problem which is of our very own making. Our litter problem is something that we can all get involved in trying to solve - and it begins on our very own doorstep. Litter is widespread in the countryside as well as in streets and towns. All three are important.
Action is the most important.
A little thought along these lines will help you to clarify your own attitudes and may help you to identify some aspects of your own behaviour which could do with change. Look for litter blackspots, derelict sites, abandoned cars, unsightly rubbish collections, streams and rivers clogged up with bicycles, bedsteads, supermarket trolleys and other articles. Look for potential for improvements. You can seek to organise a group effort through your school, youth club, residents association, local environmental group or any other group which has an interest in your area. It is always advisable to consult the local authority in relation to any action you propose to take in relation to public areas.
