Editing Litter (section)

==Extent==
Litter is an environmental concern in many countries around the world. While countries in the [[developing world]] lack the resources to deal with the issue, consumer-based economies in the [[western world]] are capable of generating larger quantities of litter per capita due to a higher consumption of [[disposable product]]s.

===Branded litter===
A number of credible studies have shown that [[fast food]] packaging is one of the most common forms of litter, while [[McDonald's]] is the most common brand of litter, despite having messages to dispose of it properly, such as the [[Ronald McDonald]] "tidy man" marking.<ref>{{cite web |last= |title=Study reveals McDonalds to be pick of the litter |url=http://www.thesatellite.com.au/news/study-reveals-mcdonalds-to-be-pick-of-the-litter/1768498/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130303184453/http://www.thesatellite.com.au/news/study-reveals-mcdonalds-to-be-pick-of-the-litter/1768498/ |archive-date=March 3, 2013 |access-date=March 1, 2013 |publisher=thesatellite.com.au}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://kab.org.au/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/KAB-National-Branded-Litter-Study-11-12.pdf|title=McGregorTan Research, Keep Australia Beautiful National Branded Litter Study Annual Results 2011/12, Retrieved 16 January 2016.|website=kab.org.au|access-date=27 March 2018|archive-date=9 April 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180409213047/http://kab.org.au/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/KAB-National-Branded-Litter-Study-11-12.pdf|url-status=dead}}</ref> According to [[Keep Britain Tidy]] in 2013, [[Cadbury]] chocolate wrappers, [[Walkers (snack foods)|Walkers]] crisp packets and [[Coca-Cola]] cans were the three top brands that were the most common pieces of rubbish found in UK streets.<ref>{{cite news |title=Coke, Cadbury and Walkers 'most dumped' brands |url=https://www.scotsman.com/news/environment/coke-cadbury-and-walkers-most-dumped-brands-1-2852571 |access-date=5 July 2019 |work=Scotsman |archive-date=5 July 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190705123841/https://www.scotsman.com/news/environment/coke-cadbury-and-walkers-most-dumped-brands-1-2852571 |url-status=live }}</ref>
