Environmental Contributions by our Group.
We are very keen on preserving the environment, and this is one of our contributions.
Keep it Clean Figures reveal:
- UK Tax Payers fork out £408 million a year to clean up litter
- Around a third of all fires are caused by accumulations of litter.
- UK rat population is a staggering sixty million due to dropped food.
- That littered areas can severely damage business and tourism opportunities
What you can do?
- Join one of the litter picks organised by Newcastle Local YHA Group and Tynebikes.
- Gloves, litter pickers and bin liners are provided.
- We meet at 10:00 am and work for about 2 hours.
- After the litter pick we usually have a meal in a local pub.
- If clearing litter does not appeal to you,
you could still have an impact by reporting
littered areas to your
Local Council.
