LitterBugs!

It's time for a hot topic, ladies and gentlemen...

Litterbugs!

​It's a hot topic for us anyway. Like many places around the world, Abbotswood is prone to invasion from that mysterious species... the litterbug! Rarely seen, rarely heard but leaves it's tracks all around our public spaces... Boo!!

However Abbotswood is a lucky part of town as we are also home to the even more mysterious... cleaning fairies! Hooray!!
All jokes aside for a minute, littering is a serious problem for our communities and the world as a whole. Here's just some of the problems related to litter...
  • Soil and water pollution
  • Fire hazards
  • Attracts pests and harmful bacteria
  • Costly to the economy
  • Spreads disease
  • Harmful to our wildlife
  • Unsightly

It's not pleasant and we think it's time to do something about it. Here in Abbotswood we regularly hold clean up days where anyone can join us and make our community that little bit tidier. It's taken a while, but we're getting there. We're starting to receive comments about how much better the area is looking. So if we can do it, so can you! It only takes a few seconds to pick up one piece of rubbish and pop it in the bin. Even the children can get involved with our Litter Pickers Scavenger Hunt! Click HERE for your own copy. We're using a points system and offer out stickers to all our litter picking superstars but you can choose any reward you like.

Today's sustainability tip is easy...
