Throw my rubbish into a bin? Depends on whether there is one
nearby.
At least one in three Singaporeans says he would bin rubbish
only when it is convenient to do so, shows a study commissioned by
the National Environment Agency (NEA).
And if there is no bin nearby, he would have no qualms
littering.
The survey also found that many consider drains, lifts, toilets,
areas near lift landings and rubbish chutes, and the side of roads
'legitimate' dumping grounds.
The NEA hopes to change such attitudes and misconceptions with
its new anti-littering campaign, which will be launched today.
The campaign is a follow-on to the one targeted at foreign
workers from India and China which ran from October last year to
March.
