Keep Britain Tidy looked at litter in 10 cities over two days in the first attempt to discover which brand names were most commonly discarded.

Fast food litter was second to cigarette ends in littering the country’s streets and 29 per cent of that was from McDonald’s restaurants, followed by boxes and cups from unbranded kebab and fast food shops. Greggs the bakers generated almost a fifth of the fast food litter, followed by Kentucky Fried Chicken, Subway and a number of coffee brands.

I discovered the same thing in the United States last January as recorded on my blog, The Earth Is Not a Trash Can.

Fast Food Trash Finale

Wednesday, February 6, 2008 · Filed under Trash · Tagged fast food litter, McDonalds, Newsom Station Road, taco bell, white castle

Here are the final pictures I took the day I found all the fast food litter (Taco Bell and White Castle) on Newsom Station Road. You know what it tastes like; you know what it looks like; you know what it tastes like a few hours later; you now know what it looks like days later on the street.

Feel free to contact the fast food vendors and let them know how you feel about their clients trashing our earth. Remember, too, that my dog once refused to eat a McDonald’s burger.

And Now, More Fast Food Litter: Wendy’s

Tuesday, February 5, 2008 · Filed under Environment · Tagged fast food litter, silly red upturned pigtails, Trash, Wendys

I used to have an addiction to Wendy’s Frosties. But going vegetarian cured that craving. I can’t come up with any putdown for a franchise that promotes itself with wigs with upturned pigtails. I just hope that the guy featured on the cup above was paid well. Anyway, if you have to eat this stuff, please don’t litter.
