Cleaning Up Scotland

摘要

Culturally, Scotland is prone to under-celebrating our national successes - too often we are coy about shining the spotlight on that which we do well, and often better than it is done elsewhere in the world. Whether it is because we are shy about our successes or genuinely unsure about how well we do by international comparison, too often our progress is the subject of limited attention. That's a situation that the waste management industry knows all too well. Working quietly in the background, waste specialists across the country deal with the consequences of our consumption, delivering significant improvements on key indicators -showing that over time we are dealing with our waste in a more environmentally sustainable way. However, you are now joined by an army of voluntary effort - an ever-increasing number of ordinary people across Scotland who want to play their part in improving their local environment, and who give of their time to clear up the litter callously discarded by those who seemingly could not care less.
