1973 litter campaign revisited – may 8
The New Seekers featured in a Keep Britain Tidy campaign in the 1970s
A high school friend of mine brought a new/old litter combat campaign to my attention recently. Litter campaigns have been going on since the early 1970s here AND in Britain. Check out this video clip from 1973 from the New Seekers and this recent article on how Scunthorpe College in Great Britain is looking to combat litter on its campus.

Obviously the British Petroleum executives missed this public service announcement. They were probably too busy figuring out how to destroy the Gulf of Mexico and other pristine areas of the world.
Indeed. Did you hear that they were recruiting one thousand volunteers to pick up all the litter along the coastline so that it too doesn’t get coated with oil, thus transferring it even more? See, if people didn’t litter in the first place, they wouldn’t need volunteers to do that.
This is HILARIOUS!
Check out this website, http://www.5gyres.org. I heard about it on Thom Hartmann last week, love him, check him out too on your local progressive radio station or Free Speech TV on Dish TV.
This is too awesome not to share
I’m going to re-post on KAB’s Facebook page and give the blog a mention… great stuff!
Oh, and yes, it’s true about the volunteers being sought on the Gulf Coast. Keep America Beautiful has sent thousands of trash bags to help with the effort. Amazing what unintended consequences litter & littering can have.
Thanks. A friend of mine brought this to my attention. I’d love to see it on the KAB FB page.
I’d love to throw everything aside (well, not literally) and go down there to help pick up litter. This whole fiasco is just tragic all the way around. Thanks for sending trash bags!
