I was told recently of a Keep Britain Tidy survey that found that only 4% of people admit to littering at any time. This is interesting as it does indicate a widespread acceptance that littering is wrong, with almost everyone being ashamed to admit to it.
Alternatively, if all the litter really is being left by only 4% of the population then they must be a dedicated group of people who spend hours doing it, like Flanders & Swann's Broken Bedstead Men.

Every day, people have a "Notting Hill Carnival" attitude - littering is perfectly OK, because "it will be cleared up later".
Does the council have "litter-days" in schools, using Keep Britain Tidy material?
Instead of clearing street litter when no-one is around, could it be deliberately done when school children and others are going home, for instance, so that the subject actually impacts on people?
And fewer yet blog about it. Thx for helping to bring litter prevention and eradication and just plain awareness of litter to the forefront. FYI, my litter blog is at:
