At the end of the summer term, Mrs Knight the headteacher of St George’s School sent us a report on a litter survey. This was the outcome of a Geography project by a group of her pupils to look at litter from fast food shops in Swaythling. An attractive report written by Dominic Fairman and with an introduction by Philip Spacagna concluded that there is no problem with litter coming from MacDonald’s and Burger King. The managers of both restaurants assured them that the litter they produce is cleaned up by their own road sweepers. Histograms in the report show that in the worst affected locations less than 10% of the litter is from MacDonald’s or from Burger King.
