What the petition asks
Make it law for vehicle registrations to be on fast food take away the packaging from large chain food outlets such as McDonald's and Burger King to help tackle littering that is often left laying on the ground after food from these outlets is consumed.
Put pressure on large food outlets such as McDonald's and Burger King and others by making it law to put vehicle registrations on their packaging to encourage people to take their rubbish home and dispose of it properly in a bin or even just take a minute to put it in a public bin.
This does not include small outlets like local cafes or Burger vans as they are not the problem.
It s large corporate outlets that attract these litterbugs and it is them that need to be targeted.
