Hello, looking for any work, particularly at events, which centered on the prevention of litter. Understand the recycling bins beside the waste bins etc, but looking specifically for successful initiatives which encouraged people to deal responsibly with litter. Thanks you for any assistance.

I followed up on one of the case studies elsewhere on this site and was very kindly forwarded the attached report from the 1970s by Dr Geller. They made waste bins more appealing by making them look like a bald eagle or a red cardinal (birds)and even fitted them up to talk, something which would be much easier now days. I am sure there is much scope for this with modern technologies such as movement sensors and a plethora of devices available that will talk at you.
