Inspired by Litter Picking

I have autism and I've always been passionate about art and design (especially creating logos) and walking and being around nature.

On my walks I would pick up as much litter as I could. My son would come along too - he also has autism. So I decided to create a logo to help the problem.

My inspiration was the original Keep Britain Tidy logo. I just wanted to make a simple design like that one but having the words included in the logo. I created it way back in 2007. It was used in my son’s school for a while and it worked great. He left school some years back so it's just been making dust so I just thought of getting it out there to maybe help make a bit of a difference.

For the things that us humans buy and consume it is only right that we take responsibility to dispose of it properly for our environment and nature to bloom.
