Respect for elders and our surroundings
by Brighton Council
After a community event in Gagebrook at one of our local parks, there was some rubbish scattered around the park. One of the members of the community group, fondly known by the young people as ‘Grandma’, was picking up the rubbish at the end of the event.
A young person in attendance asked if he could use the microphone. He politely requested that those still in attendance please help to pick-up the rubbish, rather than leaving it for ‘Grandma’.
This young person wants people to learn to not throw rubbish on the ground but to show respect for others, especially elders who should not have to pick up after others.
