I enjoyed your article about the environment and our city on Tuesday. However, you failed to mention the most obvious problem in Bristol: litter., I live opposite Bristol High Secondary School. Every evening when I come home from work, I pick up a collection of crisp and sweet packets that have been left in my front garden. , Furthermore, I am not alone. My neighbours have to do the same thing. In the street, it is even worse, with old cigarette stubs and chewing gum stuck to the pavement., Although I feel that children should understand that the street (or my garden) is not a litter bin, I do not think we help them. There are no bins in front of Bristol High., And I have never seen any of the teachers, who drive down the road on their way home, speak to any students about their behaviour., It is time that both the school and the council took some action about this problem. For example, students should be told that it can take up to 12 years for a cigarette stub to decompose., In addition, just three or four bins, which are emptied regularly, would help the problem enormously., Bristol is a beautiful city. We should keep it like that. (George Blakelock, Clarendon Road).
