Young Reporter: London's Littering Crisis: and what we can do to help
Throughout Borough’s in London, it is visibily noticeable that there is an increasing amount of litter and fly tipping appearing on our streets. Cans, boxes of rotting junk food strewn across alleyways for woodland animals to feast upon. When out and about, to and from school, my eyes wander to the ground. I step over empty packets of sweets school children have so casually disregarded of, I swerve avoiding the bug infested mattress dumped in front of a tree. I am hounded with absolute eyesores, bombarded with streets filled with utter clutter and mess. But most of all I am truly saddened by the pure waste that roams our roads. with Waste disposal in London estimated to grow by one million tonnes each year, it is truly imperative that we defy this statistic and lower this estimation. Action needs to be taken before our planet turns plastic.
