Should children be forced to pick up litter as part of the school curriculum?
The bill for clearing up litter is £1 billion per year - that's enough to fund 33,000 extra nurses!
So to help Britain clean up its act, should we get 11-year-old school kids to pick up litter as part of the national curriculum? It's an idea proposed by Former Tory minister Lord Andrew Robathan, who joined us on this morning's GMB alongside author and journalist Liat Hughes Joshi.
Watch the full interview above.
Lord Robathan believes that if children in Year Six helped tidy the roads, then general attitudes to littering would improve because they could teach their parents.
Liat Hughes Joshi, who's written five parenting books including 5-Minute Parenting Fixes, thinks there are far more important things for us to be teaching children in schools.
