"The Rubbish Monster" BOOKS for Department of Environment Affairs, WESTERN CAPE

The Rubbish Monster books will be used in schools in Western Cape as part of their program. We aim to educate the children about the dangers of littering. I'm proud to announce that the book is currently in the second print run.
Litter is usually thought of as small items, but it also includes abandoned vehicles, household rubbish dumped on the roadside or in bushes, and furniture such as mattresses left on the street by people moving house. Litter is the most visible sign of pollution. It is unsightly and can cause harm to people, wildlife and our waterways. It encourages pest animals as well as the spread of germs and disease.
"The Rubbish Monster" book and DVD are available to purchase online.

Litter is wasteful and costly to clean up. Litter also affects the way tourists view our town.
The complexity of littering behaviours requires that at the community level we need to work together to develop litter strategies that address a range of factors and in an integrated way. The essential elements are education and enforcement.
