Campaigners, business and government unite to tackle litter
The meeting brought together for the first time government and representatives of campaign groups, local authorities, other land managers and big business on the issue of how to tackle litter. Keep Britain Tidy and CPRE will work with Defra leading a group over the summer tasked with finding solutions and the group will report to ministers in the autumn.

Working with schools to tackle litter
CPRE and The Wiltshire Wildlife Trust have worked together to produce a new creative and inspiring education pack for schools revealing how litter can easily hurt or even kill wildlife, and the wider damage litter has on our environment. The resource pack, How to Run a Whole School Litter Campaign, includes shocking facts about litter and powerful photographs that show wildlife injured by carelessly dropped rubbish.

Practical activities and lessons encourage children to understand the problem of litter and the harm it can do to wildlife and the wider environment. Teachers will find the suggested activities and lesson ideas can be related across all subject areas of the curriculum.
