CPRE 2008 Litter Campaign

Litter is a growing problem. Last year alone, an estimated 25 million tonnes were dropped in Britain, and the problem affects countryside and urban areas alike. This amount of litter is an eyesore that despoils the environment. It is also a hazard to pets and wild animals – one that killed or injured over 69,000 animals in Britain last year.

Take practical action

The website, www.litteraction.org.uk, is an online forum designed to bring together people who pick up litter. You can join an existing group or, if there is no group in your their area, set up a new one. The site aims to promote and support local community action.
This website is CPRE's response to the thousands of letters and emails Bill Bryson has received since becoming CPRE’s President. They have been sent in from volunteers all over England who dedicate their free time to picking up litter.
CPRE is working on this project with CleanupUK (an organisation whose aim is to assist people in arranging litter picks).

The site is all about inspiring people to work together with others in the local community to clean it up, making the area where you live a better place to be. As well as steering people towards their nearest group, the site also contains lots of other information and campaigning ideas.
You’ll be able to use the site to record how many bags of litter you’ve collected. This will help us lobby those in central and local government and other relevant organisations to do something about the litter problem.
Log on to www.litteraction.org.uk to find out more. We hope you like it.
