There is an issue I have often thought about. We have a day for this and a day for the other or whatever the story is but to get young and older people involved, should there be a national clean-up day? There might be one already but if there is, it is badly promoted. On that day everybody could get out into their own local community - young and old - supported by Government, the Department of the environment and all local authorities, schools, primary schools, secondary schools and so on. People might say that cannot be done because of insurance or this or that. If you want to do it, it can be done. That is my motto in life. There is no reason it cannot be done. Do the witnesses have any thoughts on that?
