Protection of the Environment Bill 2003: Second Stage (Resumed).
Section 38 deals with litter pollution, something that has plagued the country for generations and a practice which is becoming less acceptable. While the situation has noticeably improved, there is still a long way go before the country is litter free. Unfortunately, those at school, our best educated generation, have little thought for litter. Whether it be fast food cartons, crisp bags, sweet wrappers or chewing gum, they scatter it freely and without thought for the consequences. Despite a concerted campaign, this activity still appears to be the norm.
