At least this should mean we find less nitrous oxide paraphernalia #litter along our roadsides and in our car parks. thetimes.co.uk/article/laughi… Would be good to see a ban on #balloonrelease #litterfromthesky next Defra UK Rebecca Pow

Hats off to Danny Lucas of Littergram as The Times and The Sunday Times highlights to complete and utter failure of councils and GOV.UK to tackle the never-ending and increasing roadside #litter problem. thetimes.co.uk/article/ive-sp… Time for action Rebecca Pow National Highways Keep Britain Tidy

Tragic that Andrew Kemp's LitterCam initiative isn't been wholeheartedly embraced by councils nationwide to end the flood of roadside #litter. Only possibility of being caught will deter #tossers. ow.ly/yOnu50N92SO Time for action Rebecca Pow National Highways

Great shame that Pat Nelson's Adopt A Highway US enterprise adoptahighway.com which ensures clean roadsides at not cost wasn't welcomed by UK. Would have put an end to roadside #litter thetimes.co.uk/article/ive-sp… Time for action Rebecca Pow National Highways Keep Britain Tidy

Great to see JointWasteSolutions adopting QR codes to facilitate the reporting of overflowing bins An idea we first talked about in 2012. x.com/ZilchUK/status… but so disappointing that they are not uniquely coded for each specific bin - so easily done! @SurreyHeath Woking Council

Great to see The Telegraph highlighting the blight that is #dogfouling in the British countryside telegraph.co.uk/travel/travel-… Dog DNA registration as provided by PooPrints is the solution that would eliminate the problem once and for all. Why not @DefraGov Thérèse Coffey Rebecca Pow

Best way to "eliminate all avoidable waste" Rebecca Pow is not to buy it in the first place. Who needs water in a bottle when it's available, often better, via a tap? Incentivise consumers to avoid waste by making them pay for the rubbish they produce. thetimes.co.uk/article/plasti…

Do RT to thank and encourage wasdalewomble and other #litter pickers everywhere to keep up their good work until the scourge of irresponsibly discarded rubbish can be eliminated.

Great to see Clean Up Britain taking National Highways to court again for their failure to keep our roadsides clean thetimes.co.uk/article/80-can… Shame it's necessary. Wishing #litter pickers and those who campaign to end the irresponsible disposal of rubbish all the best for the New Year

The UK's #litter problem is out of control says Victoria Moore and she's absolutely right, highlighting the lack of political will to solve the problem. Such a shame in what might otherwise be a beautiful country. Keep Britain Tidy

Freegle enables you to give away stuff for which you no longer have use. It is one of the best initiatives in our quest to become a sustainable and circular economy. Vote for them to get them some free advertising from Sky adsmartfromsky.co.uk/local-heroes-v… and pass it on.

Extraordinary that #Dogfouling should continue to be a problem in the UK when a proven means to end it is available. telegraph.co.uk/gift/c69368311… DNA registration and chipping as part of paying for a dog license has to be the way to go.
