| Description |
English: Now here's an odd thing.
About half way along the alley between Dowsett Road and Carew Road there's a hole in the wooden fence. Behind it is the side wall of a single storey structure - which leaves a narrow space. And by the hole it seems to be crammed with cans. Why do some passers-by put their empty cans into the hole in the broken fence? I don't know. And as I've never seen anyone putting an empty can into the hole, I've never been able to ask someone. But here's a rough idea which came out of conversations between me and Liz Ixer. It seems that some people "read" various sorts of containers as handy places to leave waste and litter. As though rather than simply tossing a can or carton on the ground; or waiting for the next convenient litter bin, they compromise by improvising - and using something that slightly resembles a litter bin . So rubbish can get wedged behind street phone cabinets. Or inside wire sapling guards; or even tucked into the wire cages round gas meters. So what? Unpleasant litter is still litter. Even if it's stuffed behind a broken fence. But even so, an optimistic part of me wonders whether this shows some (misdirected) impulse to tidiness. Which perhaps can be "nudged" in a positive direction? |
