Every group of picnickers has the responsibility to avoid littering the countryside. The best way to ensure the co-operation of every one is to appoint one of the members to act as Picnic Warden. The organizer of the outing may appoint himself Picnic Warden although a Picnic Warden can be any member of the group selected by general agreement. To be readily identifiable, the member of the group who acts as the Picnic Warden should wear a Picnic Warden badge. Badges can be obtained free of charge at City District Officers, Housing Estate Offices, New Territories District Offices and Urban Services Department Offices. Before setting out for a picnic, the Picnic Warden’s first responsibility is to ensure that his group is equipped with an adequate supply of bags to collect, and properly dispose of any litter that they may create. Plastic bags are better than paper bags because they are less likely to tear or leak. When his group is travelling on a bus, train, ferry or even on foot, the Picnic Warden must discourage the members of his party from dropping fruit peelings, sweet wrappers, peanut shells or refuse of any kind. Littering may result in a fine. When a Picnic Warden arrives at his group’s picnic spot, he should set up a litter collection point which will be easily accessible to all his fellow picnickers. 1.
