Useful Links
Welcome to the newly launched links page. In time, I hope to build up a comprehensive list of websites with messages and aims sympathetic to People Clearing Litter, and those that’ll be of interest to members of this site If you have any suggestions for links on this page, please email info@peopleclearinglitter.co.uk
The Campaign to Protect Rural England (CPRE) has own campaign with aims that overlapp with ours. Here’s the site:www.litteraction.org.uk
The body the most of us remember as Keep Britain Tidy has now been absorbed into a bigger body, called Encams. If you go to the ‘Campaigns’ button on the left of their homepage, ay www.encams.org/home/index.asp, you’ll find their litter related information.
Try the Fix My Street website (http://www.fixmystreet.com/) for a great way to report fly-tipping, cracked pavements etc.
There's a great opportunity to pledge to do regular litter picking on the Keep Scotland Beautiful website(www.keepscotlandbeautiful.org)
Towpath Tidy 2009 is a litter picking campaign run by British Waterways, the organisation that looks after all our rivers and canals. Every year, they have a big Spring Clean at the end of March. To find out your local stretch of water, go to:
www.waterscape.com/features-and-articles/features/towpath-tidy-2009
If you live near the sea, you can get involved in keeping a local stretch of beach litter free by signing up at the Marine Conservation Society's Adopt a Beach page (www.adoptabeach.org.uk). Some People Clearing Members have joined just such a group on a stretch of beach at Shanklin on the Isle of Wight.
Litter Heroes is a site with a lot in common to this one, and, if I'm honest, a fancier website. But, who cares? I'm not proud. Here's the wesbite address: www.litterheroes.co.uk/
If you need advice or help in getting rid of, or re-cycling, any of the litter and rubbish you collect, this site might be of help:
Title: The greenhouse at www.thegreenhouse.co.uk. Here's what they say they do:
'The green house provides businesses with tailored waste
management programs to minimise their waste output and costs.'
