Litter
Litter is the one mandatory topic in the Eco-Schools Scotland programme.
It's a very visible problem - it's easy to see how a playground awash with crisp packets and chocolate bar wrappers can give a bad impression of the whole school.
However, by tackling the litter problem, both pupils and the local community will quickly notice improvements in the school's appearance and image.
Cleaning up will also help to foster a sense of personal pride and responsibility in pupils.
