Alison Johnstone MSP is supporting environmental charity, Keep Scotland Beautiful, in applauding the efforts of local residents across Lothian who are taking part in the annual Spring Clean campaign throughout April and May.
Keep Scotland Beautiful helps communities who wish to take part in removing litter from their local area – transforming the places they live in and improving the areas they care for.
Throughout April and May, Keep Scotland Beautiful will be working with Lothian residents, businesses, schools and community groups to arrange their own Clean Up events to remove rubbish from local streets, parks and public areas.
Ms Johnstone said: “Litter is damaging our environment, blighting communities, and spoiling wildlife habitats across the country.
“I am proud of the actions of residents from Lothian who are participating in the annual Spring Clean campaign, and I look forward to working together to make Lothian litter-free.”
Derek Robertson, Chief Executive of Keep Scotland Beautiful, commented:“Keep Scotland Beautiful is calling for people across the country to take part in our annual Spring Clean campaign. Every April and May thousands of volunteers take to the streets and remove a significant amount of litter from their local communities.
“We are very proud of everyone’s hard work and hope that everyone will take part – helping to make 2019 the most successful Spring Clean campaign to date.”
