Victoria is one of the most urbanised states in Australia. However, cigarette butt litter is a major issue in Victoria. This is a research about Sustainability Victoria’s “Don’t Be a Tosser, Bin Your Butts” campaign organised by The Reputation Group (TGR) from February to September 2007. “Don’t Be a Tosser, Bin Your Butts” is a cigarette butt litter awareness and behavioural change campaign. The intention was to urge smokers to bin their butts. It was a successful campaign as it has exceeded its
commercial. During this time efforts were made to curb litter, and, as the title suggests, improve the appearance of the nation. Currently, the matter of littering is less prevalent. Reasons for this are debatable, but other concerns such as the economy and the state of international affairs certainly have an impact. This does not mean, however, that littering is any less of a relevant subject now as opposed to in the past. The common belief is that litter is a negative societal element. However, there are
people identify litter as a major environmental problem and yet people still litter (JB Green Team).” This is entirely true; it is amazing how many people are aware of littering being an environmental problem but still refuse to do anything about it. Littering is a big controversial subject in the world today. A subject with easy resolutions but is hard to accomplish when people are either too impatient or lazy. Littering can be easily prevented but people still choose to litter anyways. People choose
The estimated cost of litter pickup is thirty cents per piece of trash, and with one mile of highway containing about sixteen thousand pieces of trash, that is already four thousand eight hundred dollars spent on litter pickup (“NCDPS”). Why should we allow so much of our hard earned money to be used when we could just avoid littering altogether and have extra money in
Elementary School I. Introduction Many people partake in littering because they overlook the consequences it has on the environment due to not properly knowing about the effects. They know that littering is “bad”, but don’t know how or why it’s bad. Litter threatens public health because it is a breeding ground for bacteria, causes car accidents, starts fires, and harms plants and animals, not to mention it could kill them as well. According to the CDC foundation, “Public health is the science of protecting
and innocent, but littering is an unhealthy habit people of all ages in each country do every day. Littering is a second nature to some people; after doing it for so long and often, they do not realize they do it. As more and more people continue to litter, environments, animals, and humans are being harmed by people’s carless actions. Americans, as well as all humans, need to be more aware of how hazardous and costly littering is to the world and the creatures living in it. Littering shows lack of
who do recognize it needs to spread the news around so there can be a solution. It is clear that people, who litter, do not realize the dangerous effects they are causing or the consequences of it. For starters, debris, scattered fragments, can be carried into local waterways, which can nearly cause billions of debris to show up in the ocean each year. What most people do not see, is litter can be a severe fire hazard. For example, if someone just finished smoking a cigarette and then decides to throw
causes and effects, and possible solutions of marine debris. Marine debris can be defined as “any manufactured or processed solid waste material that enters the marine environment from any source” (Ten Things). Usually, we just call it litter. But, where does this litter come from? All marine debris comes from man-made waste. Most of this makes its way into our waterways from land, while 20% comes from ocean-based sources, such as fishing vessels and cargo ships (Problem). Once this waste enters the
Background We always hear "do not litter!" or "throw your litter in the bins", maybe some of you bored to hear that yet we still do not throw it in the correct place. Litter is a serious habit problem to just throw away objects on the ground or leave them lying on the ground, instead of putting them in the garbage can. In Indonesia, the amount of litter is 175.000 ton/day and this is increasing every day. But we don't have to see that far, just look around us, our campus, Sanata Dharma University
Imagine you are driving down the road on your way home from school, eating a bag of your favorite potato chips, carefree and listening to music. As you finish your snack, you decide that rather than leaving the package inside of your car, you will just dispose of it out the window. With no regard as to how it could affect our environment or our animals, you decide to get rid of the rest of the trash in your vehicle as well. Littering is something that occurs quite often and pollution is just the
Littering is like a cause and effect when its saw or done others will do the same. In the essay “A Couple Of Really Neat Guys” Dave Barry uses comedy to explain the point of not to litter. He uses hyperbole and one liners to explain his opinion on littering. Littering is something Dave Barry feels very strong for and does not appreciate. So, instead of starting a debate or argument he uses comedy to effectively show his point. Using hyperbole and one liners/puns to show his point that littering
the consequences of littering are not being fully presented to the population of students and faculty on campus. People are unaware of how much damage they cause when they throw their one piece of trash onto the ground. If everyone thinks this way, litter will continue to increase. There is a lack of motivation to keep our campus clean. Students and faculty do not understand that the trash they throw must be cleaned up by staff that is paid to do so. This costs the University money and cleaning faculty
research, they found that, ”the presence of litter in a community decreases property values by a little over 7%”(KAB). People who litter are slowly ruining their cities economy by decreasing property values. As KAB adds, they are “Fire hazards that impacts local wildlife”(KAB). They’re hurting the environment also.

According to Statistic Brain, about 75% of people admitting to having littered within the last five years. In fact, the average number of paces that a person will hold a piece of trash before littering is a measly 12 paces, with up to 50% of all litter composing of discarded cigarette butts. These statistics show that this “trivial” issue is far more prevalent than one would think. This “trivial” issue is a cause of many reasons for us, as citizens on this planet, to start paying attention, and
Boxes tumbled one after another as my cat blinked out of fear behind it, staring at the boxes. “Tigger!” My mother exclaimed as she rolled her eyes, catching my attention as I poke my head through the archway. “What did he do?” I asked as my mother walked over to the boxes and started to pick up the boxes. “He knocked over these boxes,” she explained as she gave a pointed look to my brown tabby. Sighing, I walked over to help her, kneeling on one knee. “It seems he doesn't want to leave either
activity that anyone can take part in. Towns and schools hold annual cardboard boat regattas, judging the entrants on speed, design, and creativity. In New Richmond, Ohio there is even a cardboard boat museum! These special boats are more than just a box thrown into water; they are designed using elements of engineering and physics to make them not only water ready, but fast and durable. Building cardboard boats is an exciting way to incorporate topics studied in the classroom into an exciting educational
You would. My inner voice says No I would not, thank you very much. That is what you are doing right now, isn’t it? Why how rather snarky of you, myself! “Wait, what am I doing? This is weird.” It’s only weird when you make it weird. “Stop talking, I’m trying to do stuff!” I say out loud, beginning to weave vines and leaves together. The voice in my head mimics me, but retreats back. Looks like I won. I continue to gather wood and dry leaves, to make a fire as it is starting to get cold. Right
