SINGAPORE: 20 per cent of park users have no qualms about littering in parks.

15 per cent also feel that throwing small items, like cigarette butts and tissue paper, does not constitute littering.

NEA's Littering Behaviour Study over the past two years also found that drink containers are the most common litter found in parks.

This is followed by cigarette butts, plastic wrappers, tissue and strips of paper.

So NEA and National Parks has launched the "Just Bin It" campaign at the East Coast Park, West Coast Park, Changi Beach and the Pasir Ris Park.

160 student ambassadors will also help spread the anti-littering message during the year's school holidays.

And to kick off the campaign, students from 20 schools competed in the Paint-A-Bin competition.

Their works will be displayed at the four parks. -CNA/vm
