With the Glasgow 2014 Commonwealth Games fast approaching, I'd have thought ensuring my empty bag of Doritos would be the least of anyone's worries...
To my surprise, Glasgow City Council have proved that they have a bit more dosh to dish out for litter awareness.
Such examples include the Pick Up and Party event by CRNS. With backers such Clyde1, The Lottery Fund and Young Scot, it definitely made a notable impression on me.
Though activity was lacking, I had a really great time. By "lacking", I mean the most litter-related things we did was take pictures with a chewing gum and bin mascot and played litter related games.
Another example is the Scottish Government campaign "Dirty Little Secrets" which aims to familiarise the community with characters of a certain "NED"-ish quality - with amusing effects.
The most notable character in this campaign is a red-headed young actress who plays this stereotype with a genuine flair for playing her character. Additionally, I'm Facebook friends with her - before she got the role, I swear!
This all links with the Legacy Themes as a result of the games: Sustainable, Connected, Active and Flourishing.
