ABSTRACT
Littering is one of the most pervasive social issues and yet subconsciously one of the accepted habits. The disappointment emerging from continuous failure in maintaining spick and span public spaces led to the writing of this paper. Further, the amount of litter only seems to rise despite all the furor about sustainability and preservation of the environment. The paper takes into account the various provisions adopted in certain parts of India and other countries, with regard to environmental conservation and ensuring cleanliness. It offers the solution to the issue of omnipresent litter in the form of an Anti-Littering Law. This paper seeks to elaborate on the dire need to have an anti-littering law and the chain of positive change that it will set in motion. Suggestions are being made in the paper by furnishing provisions of Anti-Littering Legislation. It aims to offer practical and tangible solutions to the litter problem.
