Clean Up Australia Day

Jump to new
There is some danger in picking up litter by hand as you can't be certain what little spider etc., may be there. One mistake could lead to a lifetime of suffering, as I remember hearing of a person who committed suicide some years after being bitten. Well organized it needs to be I suppose.
 

And needles of course, no kid of mine will be sent in to do that in the name of community spirit.
 
I suppose the big picture for me is I see that my generation has done a lot of damage to the environment and I think we should fix it not just flick pass it to the next generation.
 
Almost no litter in our town. Council employs people who constantly drive around, park and pick up any litter. I think this encourages the population and tourists to respect the tidiness and use the bins which are provided everywhere.

The only time I pick up anything is an item on the beach which has presumably washed up from careless/neglectful boaties and which could kill sea creature if swallowed.

One thing really does annoy me, though, and that's fishermen who fillet and clean their fish and then leave the skeletons lying in the shallows. The tide washes them high up on the beach and they not only stink horribly but represent a danger to curious dogs who will have a go at eating anything.
 
I found London almost spotless, workers everywhere sweeping and cleaning made Melbourne look like a sewer.

Hi MrBurns, I take it you mean London in Canada, or America. London in England is the worlds litter capital. "...,workers everywhere sweeping and cleaning.." - what a load of rubbish, balderdash.

What a load of crap, you're either joking or were in the wrong London.

I don't want to have a row about this, as it's not a life and death matter really. I'm based at the moment in Kent and not really that far out from London, England, and have lived in many areas of London. The number of times I've gone into London over the years, I guess, is more than that of any Australian who has ever lived.
 
Travellers surveyed in March reckon it`s the dirtiest city in Europe Hmmff

I suppose you can take what the tourists say with a grain of salt Hmmff
