This document discusses solutions to littering. It proposes making recycling fun and appealing through technology like bins that play sounds when litter is deposited. It also suggests educational programs in schools to teach children about litter and its effects. Community involvement ideas are presented like rewarding those who pick up litter and encouraging positive environmental actions through advertising. The overall goal is to change attitudes and habits through education, incentives and community participation.

1. Littering
Why Do we do it?
What are Solutions?

2. Reverse Brainstorming

• Extra packaging (non-biodegradable)
• No way to deal with waste
• Encourage community to litter

3. Finding Solutions
How to Make a Difference
• Main focus

4. 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.

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

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

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

7. Reducing Litter
• No more plastic bags!

• Less Packaging
– maximum one layer (if needed at all)
• Result
– significantly reduce waste to avoid litter

8. 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

9. 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

10. MAKE A DIFFERENCE!
