To the Ross Gazette, I'm a member of the RSPB. I am writing to you because most children and adults are throwing rubbish on the floor. PS I am sending this letter because I want it to stop not because I want to be in the newspaper.

I am seven years old and I want it to stop.

Editor's note: This heartfelt plea, written by a seven -year-old pupil at Ashfield Park School, arrived at our office on Monday. The Editor agrees that litter is an eyesore which can prove deadly to wildlife.
