How far does litter travel?
The feather-light packaging that has dramatically reduced costs for manufacturers is swiftly transported considerable distances from the unlidded recycling boxes where it is put out for collection.
A moderate wind speed can transform our streets into an unseasonal snowstorm of wrappers, boxes, blister packs, receipts, scratch cards, transparent film...
But when I find a label from a pack of Indian sandstone in a gutter in Ethelbert Road, that really sets me thinking.
What is the true cost of convenience & desire?
