Boys Collection Environment Friendships Litter Rubbish Teen Teenage 1975 Tidy

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from 1975, we are transported back to a time when environmental consciousness was beginning to take root. The show ground, usually marred by litter and debris, is surprisingly tidy thanks to the efforts of a group of young boys known as the Keep Britain Tidy boys. These three teenagers from Quarry Bank School - David Lucas, Leslie Rice, and David Moore - can be seen diligently collecting rubbish as it falls. Their presence at the show ground signifies a shift in attitudes towards littering and highlights the importance of taking care of our environment. As they work together, their friendships are strengthened through their shared mission to keep their surroundings clean. This image captures not only a moment in time but also an important message about responsibility and respect for our natural spaces. It serves as a reminder that even small actions can make a significant impact on creating a cleaner world for future generations. As we reflect on this photograph from decades ago, let us be inspired by these teenage pioneers who were ahead of their time in recognizing the value of keeping our environment tidy. Their dedication serves as an enduring example for all those who strive to preserve and protect our planet today.
