Litter
Litter is a persistent environmental issue around the world. Litter is unsightly, creates health and safety concerns, can damage land and marine environments and has potentially lethal effects on wildlife.
Littering can be a chosen behaviour. Control measures, such as regular clean ups, designated eating areas and banning certain items in the schoolyard are useful litter control measures, but are a reaction to litter and not to littering.
Effective litter education programs develop understandings about the negative and positive impacts of our choices and actions on the environment. This, together with a whole school commitment to waste minimisation, promotes positive attitudes and behaviours that reduce littering.
