I have commented on the litter on the Island before. How can the Authorities start a program of education starting in he Schools , to stop littering. A major advertising campaign is needed all over the Island to KEEP IT CLEAN. I am appalled by the lazy attitude to being litter louts in Mallorca. PICK IT UP BIN IT STOP DROPPING YOUR LITTER. This is so prevalent with Cigarrette packets, beer cans, drink cans, plastic bottles, plastic packets etc. etc. The Authorities MUST start to educate everyone on the lazy littering attitude of all the Residents and in the Season Tourists.
