Scots Survey Litter Issue

摘要

People in Scotland who litter are reluctant to admit they are litterers, according to a new report by Zero Waste Scotland, which sets out what people in the country really think about litter in their communities. The study, Public Perceptions and Concerns around Litter, looks at attitudes to how litter should be tackled and will be used by Zero Waste Scotland to develop ideas to prevent littering behaviour. This new research confirms that littering is a social taboo, but reveals that more people are litterers than they might admit - and many people see littering behaviour on a sliding scale of acceptability, and are prepared to justify it in certain circumstances, for example, if there aren't "enough" bins or if it's "accidental".
