Call to Action for Landowners
Example of Flytipping
A pilot scheme has been launched today in Ayrshire, to enable private landowners to report incidents of flytipping on their land - an ever growing problem that can cost each landowner thousands of pounds a year to clean-up.

Keep Scotland Beautiful and the Scottish Rural Property and Business Association are calling on private landowners to send in information whenever they come across flytipped waste on their land. The results gathered from this will then enable KSB and SRPBA to measure the extent, and therefore the true associated costs involved in clearing up this illegal waste.

The full press release is available on the Dumb Dumpers media centre and the Ayrshire Landowners Report Form can be accessed here: http://www.dumbdumpers.org/howtoreport.asp
GCNS on Target in Stirlingshire
Going Carbon Neutral Stirling
Going Carbon Neutral Stirling is starting to achieve its targets for working with businesses and communities.

Going Carbon Neutral Stirling has succeeded in engaging with 107 business and community groups, more than 50 of which are now actively working on GCNS Carbon Cutter Plans. The plans, which include a variety of energy and waste-saving suggestions, are designed to be as all-inclusive as possible and bring about real behavioural change amongst the groups that agree to start them.

GCNS is currently active in the city of Stirling and surrounding communities and will shortly be starting its work in Bridge of Allan, Dunblane, Doune, Deanston, Ashfield and Callander to take its ideas to a greater part of the population and show what benefits carbon reduction can bring.

To contact GCNS or to find out more about their work, visit the website at www.goingcarbonneutralstirling.org.uk/.
