Closed petition Make education about littering and its effects compulsary in all schools.

Closed on 21 May 2019

My name is Osian, I am 17 and have Autism and anxiety. I have volunteered in the Peak District for 4 years. The peace of the moors has saved my life and I want to do all I can to protect them. The epidemic of littering and fly tipping is ruining the countryside and is a danger to wildlife.

I am the National Trust Youth Volunteer for 2018 and want to use my award to promote my campaign. I believe that the only way to make a real difference with litter is to start with children. I hope that they will grow up and teach people around them to also not drop litter. What we learn as a child we never forget. I want every child to participate in an education programme that will result in a Certificate from the Government and sign a promise to not drop litter and look after their world.
