Eco-Schools International

Pupils at Cambusbarron Primary School
in Scotland took their Litter campaign

beyond the school gate, taking on a

dog fouling problem in their village.

Pupils carried out an initial litter pick

of the three playgrounds in the school,
they counted how many pieces of litter

were picked up so that they could

use this as a baseline to measure to
improve upon.

They did this every day for four weeks
and then shared what they had done

with the whole school at an assembly

as well as raising awareness of the

danger of dog fouling and encouraging people to pick up after their
dogs.

The results were fantastic, they
achieved a massive reduction

in the amount of dog fouling

in the local area.

To celebrate their success,

Cambusbarron Primary School

pupils attended the Wrigley
Litter Less Award ceremony

at the Lighthouse Gallery

Glasgow and was the first school in Scotland to be presented with the
Wrigley Litter Less Campaign Best Initiative award.
