• Use innovative ways to reduce littering and dog fouling where you live.

• Improve the way your local environment is looked after, whether urban, rural or coastal.

• Contribute to the development of civic pride within a community with a focus on environmental improvement.

• To enhance or attract tourism to your community through environmental improvements.
