Even though 94% of people in Britain see littering as a common environmental issue, a lot of people still do it. Even though some people think that litter doesn’t have that much of an effect on our environment, it does. For example it shows people that they don’t care for our environment. It shows they are lazy to recycle and we waste our money foolishly because we throw away reusable materials. SO DON’T LITTER!
In our school grounds at Lanark Primary School, we are so lucky to have a small woodland area at the back. Unfortunately, we have a HUGE problem ... litter and glass is continually thrown into the woods. This is bad for environmental reasons, of course, but it is really bad for our safety. Children from the nursery (age 3) to Primary 7 (age 11) play and learn in the woodlands in our school. We feel that our personal safety is being risked by people throwing their rubbish, glass and EVEN dog poo into the school grounds. Did you know that dog poo can carry lots of germs?
We know that you too will be horrified that anyone would risk any children's safety by throwing glass & dog poo into school grounds.
We also know that you will be like us in wanting to SAVE our planet.
Please help us to change this by signing our petition to raise money to get security cameras installed in the woodlands to stop litter and glass being thrown into our school grounds!
