What if ...

Litter can cause a whole range of problems for everyone in the community. Litter discarded in streets and parks can travel through the storm water system to our bays and oceans, where it can cause harm to wildlife.
-Litter costs money. Removing litter from the envi- ronment costs everyone money. -Litter is a threat to public health. Litter attracts vermin and is a breeding ground for bacteria. Items such as broken glass and syringes can be a health hazard in public places.
-Litter can be a fire hazard. Accumulated litter and carelessly discarded cigarette butts are potential fire hazards. -Litter looks bad. Litter negatively affects the image of places, especially tourist locations. -Litter attracts litter. Litter sends out a message that people do not care for the environment and that it is acceptable to litter. -Litter can harm or kill wildlife. Plastic litter can choke or suffocate birds and marine life. Carelessly discarded containers can trap small mammals. -Litter harms our waterways. Organic matter, such as dog poo, leaves and grass clippings, pollutes our waterways.

collection of 100: 20 opinions

Leeds is a very cold place


Leeds is a Northern place but not nearly as Northern as Manchester


Leeds is nothing but hills


Leeds is full of homeless people


Leeds is home to the best Graphic design course in the country and possibly the world at leeds college of art


Leeds is alive


Leeds brings people together


Leeds is shit in comparison to London


I love leeds nights out there the best by far


I have no great love for it


I found it grey, full of concrete and cars and no sign of green. But I've only been there 100 times by rail, so I must have missed the nice bits. At least the rain isn't as bad as Manchester, and the people are not so miserable. But its close. One might commit suicide in Leeds after 2 days.


Leeds is in England,
The UK is Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland & England altogether,
It's a fine English City.
