John ReadFounderClean Up Britain

A ground-breaking environmental and community behavioural change campaign in Warwickshire

John Read, Founder, Clean Up Britain

What is Clean Up Britain…?

• Clean Up Britain founded in 2010

• Community Interest Company

• Patron is Jeremy Paxman

• Campaign Chairs are Kenny & Gabby Logan

• Single objective: “to change attitudes and behaviour of the 20m+

people in Britain who drop litter/fly-tip”

• Expanded our activities into broader ‘environmental quality’

(litter, fly-tipping, plastic, Deposit Return Schemes, re-use,

recycling and research)

• Experienced national campaigners, now providing a range of CSR

and advisory services

• Collaborative approach - working with many organisations - for

collective benefits

Is litter really an important issue?

You might be surprised…

• It’s a massive waste of money (£4 BILLION a year)

Especially in the context of Britain’s very alarming balance sheet debt…

• The UK owes £1.762 trillion (ONS, Feb 2018) - 85.1% of GDP

• £30,000+ per person

• OBR forecasts 2017/18 national debt interest payments to be £54.7 billion

• £2,000 a second accumulated interest

• Plus, another £1.5 trillion off-balance sheet debt (PFI schemes and

unfactored public sector pension commitments)… £1.762tn + £1.5tn = £3.262

trillion

• Hardly overstating it to say the UK is semi-bankrupt

And the negative consequences of litter go on….

•Harm/death to animals

•Mental health link

•Damaging tourism (US travel agencies…)

265,000 businesses; 9.5% of Britain’s GDP; 3 million jobs

•Damaging inward investment (Birmingham airport)

•Correlation with crime

•Symptomatic of a breakdown in respect/community pride

Key details of the campaign in Leamington Spa

• Clean Up Britain and Warwick Business School are designing and running a highly professional,

high impact, anti-litter behavioural change campaign, in Leamington Spa. System 1 = feeling,

intuition and emotion System 2 = logical, rational and analytical

• The campaign will be collaborative and co-created with various stakeholders, and be upbeat and

positive, and appeal to environmental concerns and community pride

• The objective of the campaign is to prompt a sustained reduction in the amount of people who

litter - especially young people. This will be achieved by education, a raft of communication

techniques, legal enforcement, ‘nudges’ and improved infrastructure

• It will be launched on April 23rd, and run over a minimum 12 month period

• The pre and post campaign results will be carefully measured and quantifiable

• Campaign is a test-bed/incubator unit for new ideas - to upscale for national campaign

What are we trying to achieve with the campaign?

• To test and measure to what extent we can change community behaviour over an extended period of time. What works, what doesn’t.

• Starting with strong (negative) environmental messaging, but transition to positive and uplifting community pride messages.

• Significantly associate ‘Britain’s litter issue’ within a wider community, economic and environmental context.

• Show that many diverse stakeholders can work effectively together, and jointly influence behaviour - which will take time.

Why your organisation might want to get involved in the campaign

• Becoming a ‘Company in the Community’ Partner offers a range of partner benefits.

• In addition, we will use our learning to influence and inform the execution of the government’s

national anti-litter behavioural change campaign.

• We will ensure you are given significant public credit and recognition for supporting the campaign

- including from Clean Up Britain celebrity supporters.

• Help make our community in Leamington - and the wider Coventry and Warwickshire area - an

even better place, to live, work, visit and invest in.
