London 'dirtiest city' in Britain
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/london/4228613.stm
This article is about pollution in Britain. The Local Environmental Quality Survey of England graded 12,000 sites in England on it's cleanliness. London came out of the test as dirtiest city, together with the rest of South East England. East England was found cleanest. Most of the rubbish has been thrown away by pedestrians, so it's no good pointing fingers at councils, government and other people: single persons have to be attended on their behaviour.
I think it's a good thing there has been research on pollution in England. Pollution is a bad thing which effects people's health. I hope the researchers will have informed the government about this, so that they can put money aside for useful advert campaigns, pointing out that every single person has to do something about it. Also, money could be invested in more bins, or the emptying of them. And why is the East of England cleaner? Maybe some good ideas from there can be useful in the South East.

Indeed, a worthy cause to invest money into and to investigate further. We are talking about the future of our children and the mess (literal and figurative) that they will be left with if we do not clean up our act (no pun intended). For years, Europe has been working on a plan to decrease pollution, so perhaps the Local Environmental Quality Survey of England will help awaken the general public to the fact that they themselves are at fault.

I too agree with Eveline, you maybe can't point your finger directly at the people and say they are responsable for the polution. The government is always responsible for its people and the country. If there wont come any campains against the polution predestrians cause there won't change anything. The government is responseble, and they must take messures against the pollution.
