Bill Bryson Says – Stop The Drop

16 April 2008

Litter is getting worse and authorities not doing enough: tough anti-litter and fly-tipping campaign takes to the streets and the countryside.

The President of the Campaign to Protect Rural England (CPRE) [1], author Bill Bryson, today (Wednesday) launched Stop the Drop, the charity’s major campaign against the growing blight of litter and fly-tipping in England’s countryside.

Stop the Drop will highlight the impact litter and fly-tipping has across England, and give people the campaigning tools to demand action. The charity is also lobbying for a new bottle deposit law.

‘Litter is becoming the default condition of the countryside,’ said Bryson ‘It is time that we – all of us – did something about this. The landscape is too lovely to trash. That is why CPRE is launching Stop the Drop, to make the countryside what it was almost everywhere until very recently, and what most of us still want it to be – a place of cherished beauty and sometimes utter perfection.’
