Littering

Why Do we do it?What are Solutions?

Reverse BrainstormingHow to Make it Worse

• No bins• No education• No incentive to change our habits• Extra packaging (non-biodegradable)• No way to deal with waste• Encourage community to litter

Finding Solutions How to Make a Difference

• Main focus – Make looking after the environment appealing to all

• Bins – technology to make appealing sound when litter is placed inside

• Result – encourage people, particularly children, to keep using litter bin

• Sounds – clapping and cheering at a football match. – voice from bin, “Yay your on Team Tidy!”

Brainstorming 1

• Education – “Taking Care of Environment” on National curriculum

• Units – “What is litter? – “How does it affect the environment?”– “Solutions, what can we do to help?”.

• Homework– take note of different types of litter.

New Ideas

• Act as “Sergeant Major Recycle”– pick up any rubbish seen on street – encourage friends and family to put litter in – encourage schools to put litter in bin

• Result of education – share information with family and friends – retain knowledge and skills to deal with litter

More Ideas

• Motivate – show community how simple it is use as litter bin

• Praise – people who look after environment through a dedicated TV channel or other advertising

• Giveaways– from company’s for people who help

• Question – at the end of advertisement asking,

“What have YOU done to help the environment TODAY???”

Reducing Litter

• No more plastic bags! – free fabric-based bags – strong brown paper bags

• Less Packaging – maximum one layer (if needed at all)

• Result – significantly reduce waste to avoid litter

Step Outside the Box

• Ways to deal with litter – make power out of litter– burning litter creates heat – (need to reduce carbon emissions!)

• Results – heat used in certain ways makes power– power creates electricity– reduces reliance on fossil fuels

Brainstorming 2

• Discourage littering – ad campaign – graphics on TV, buses, billboards

• Demonstrate – how litter affects environment

• Educate – people on effects of litter

• Result – Shock them into thinking twice before littering
