The Daily Mail is recruiting an army of public-spirited readers to start the fightback against the litter blighting our towns and countryside.

Sir David Attenborough, politicians, charities and even the United Nations are throwing their weight behind the Great British Spring Clean. 

Readers are urged to band together to collect and dispose of discarded rubbish in their neighbourhood, recycling as much as possible. 

The initiative builds on the success of the Mail’s Great Plastic Pick Up last year, which was backed by 20,000 readers and our NHS volunteer drive, which attracted 30,000 more.

Sir David, who has highlighted the plastic scourge on BBC’s Blue Planet II, said last night: ‘It’s very important for people to take care of the environment and I support your efforts to do so.’

Actor and comedian Sir Michael Palin added: ‘The Great British Spring Clean is something we should all support. We have a beautiful country, blessed with a rich and varied natural life. But it needs looking after. We’ve all seen what happens to plastics and waste in our seas. It’s our duty to keep them off our land too.’
