Drama puts rubbish issue on centre stage

KEEPING the environment clean and safe will be the message of a play teaching Bucks schoolchildren about litter.

Buckinghamshire County Council - funded Lost in Litter - A Detective's Tale will visit ten schools across the county as part of the council's Rethink Rubbish' education campaign.

The show will include audience participation, juggling and magic to tackle litter and fly tipping issues.

Pupils will be encouraged to set an example in their community by showing how small actions can help to create big changes and improvements to the environment.

Councillor Martin Tett, chairman of the joint waste committee for Buckinghamshire said the play, will be targeting children aged five to 11 to help them understand why dropping litter is damaging to the environment.

Cllr Tett said: "This play is a fun way of getting across a very important message to children."

This follow's Wycombe District Council's decision to introduce £75 on-the-spot fines to anyone found dropping litter.
