WHAT IS ACTUALLY WRONG WITH PEOPLE?! This is the reality of litter. Not only ruining our most beautiful spots but killing innocent creatures that call these places home. I’m getting so sick of the selfish idiots who leave behind their mess ❌🐁

Anyone in Dundee know the story with this bit of land on Perth Road? It’s a bit…grim, and it’s been this way forever! Would love it to be a bit more friendly. More greenery? Community benefit plants like apple trees? Could be a lovely wee corner to spend time 🌳☕️🐝🌼

Look at the size of the disposable vape litter today. This chunky pink one was found in two halves, it’s massive! Glad we’ve banned (1st April 2025) these wasteful disposable electronics that end up as litter!❌💨

What makes the litter emergency worse? When spring grass cutting teams come out and shred all of the litter along with the grass creating hundreds of microplastics and smaller bits of litter which are easier to blow around and harder to pick up.

New builds are near criminal with the lack of thought put into basic things like drainage. Nature-based solutions are essential, particularly around new builds, to ensure we don't see localised flooding like this. Shocking. dailyrecord.co.uk/news/scottish-…
