Being kind to others can sometimes be done indirectly. Have you ever stopped to think of the problems that litter in the streets create?

• Plastic can holders can choke
• Fishing line can strangle animals – especially birds
• Broken glass bottles can cut
• Balloons and plastic bags can kill children and small animals
• Cans can trap

In addition, it can help spread bacteria;attract vermin & rodents to our suburbs; and it creates a visually unappealing cityscape for visitors.

So next time you’re strolling down your street, pick up that empty can and carry it out to the next bin. If you’re worried about getting bacteria in your hands, you can carry disposable gloves with you; a small bottle of antibacterial hand-gel (you can get those at most chemists); or simply wash your hands soon after you dispose of the rubbish.
