Don't be a Tosser - Anti Litter Campaign
The Community Partnership is tackling the problem of litter in the
National Park head-on. The problems are well known. Litter makes a mess
of our communities, depresses local residents, blights the landscape,
spoils a good view and can damage wildlife and the environment.
In a place where so many businesses rely on tourism, litter strewn
along the loch shores, lay-bys and road verges will not attract and
keep visitors in the area.
The Community Partnership decided to focus attention on the root cause of the problem - trying to stop people from dropping litter in the first place.

The National Park Authority supports the Community Partnership’s
litter campaign. We have produced posters, car stickers and branded
refuse bags encouraging people to take their litter home for disposal.
If
you would like to organise a community or local interest group led litter pick

vests. And you can download posters by clicking on the images on the right.
The materials we have developed with the Community Partnership are
part of our wider Respect the Park campaign encouraging responsible behaviour in the National
Park.
