Young Londoners on the environment
'I have an idea how we could make London a better place. We could pick up rubbish and put it in the bin even if it is not ours.'
Rudy, age 7
'I think we can make London better by selling less chewing gum in the shops because it is ruining the pavements and the money we spend to clean it can go on something else.'
Iman, age 10
'I think you need to contact big cleaning companies and clean up the toilets in London. They usually smell a bit and they are sometimes dirty. Sometimes people don't even flush after themselves. So please sort out the toilets in London.'
Annabel, age 10
'I wish the shop next door to us was not open 24 hours and that it did not sell alcohol. I am often woken up by people swearing and fighting and by them leaving their car stereos on.'
Aurelia, age 7
'In London there is too many people in a tight place. Dis iz not fair.'
Big mouth, age 12
'I love animals and I don’t like the fact that so many habitats are being so utterly destroyed and many living creatures are being wiped from the map.'
Islamman, age 10
'Litter collection needs to get better. Sometimes people throw sticky gum, empty packets and sharp tin cans!'
Aaron, age 9
'I think if people chuck chewing gum on the pavement we should give them a big penalty.'
Akshay Mavji
'I think if we have cameras in the streets we can catch people who are throwing chewing gum on the floor, they should do community service.'
Zaheer, age 10
'I am sure you have seen the state of London from litter. Well, I have come up with some advertisements you could put around the area. Such as "Take a lesson on literacy" and "You don't want to sin so put your litter in a bin".'
Ryan
'I think you should stop pollution so London will be a cleaner place.'
Fayia
'I think old parts of London should be made into more better things.'
Ryan, age 8
