Scotcast - Rise of the litter pickers

Campaigners say we are in the grip of a litter “emergency”, and your emails tell us something similar.

We ask social media influencer Laura Young, aka Less Waste Laura, Heather McLaughlin from Keep Scotland Beautiful, and the BBC's Kevin Keane how much damage littering is doing to our communities.

Scotcast is the BBC’s Scottish news podcast, with Martin Geissler, Laura Miller and Natalie Higgins.
