Don't know what to do for Earth Day  (22nd of April) this week? Even if you're not rescuing a polar bear, picketing Downing Street to demand action on emissions or scaling a mountain with Al Gore on your shoulders to raise awareness of climate change you can still spare a thought for the poor old planet, starting in your own back yard (or country).

 

There's rubbish everywhere you look these days: plastic debris on the beaches, fast food wrapper tumbleweeds blowing across the pavements and everything-but-the-kitchen-sink – oh-look-there's-a-kitchen-sink! on the country's motorways.
