Visitors and their rubbish

We keep seeing and hearing of tourists coming to Cornwall and leaving litter on the beaches. As we all know this is a very serious problem. Apart from the job of cleaning up - some of this litter will be plastic and as we all know plastic in the oceans is bad for marine life and consequently bad for us all.

I suggest that a very public major notice and leaflet campaign aimed at litter droppers might be the answer.

It is difficult in these days of political correctness to use words adequately describing litter droppers. My mother never used words like scum - she would say that some people have been dragged up - not brought up.
