Don't Mess with Me: Fast Food

Documentary series about efforts to solve the problem of littering in Britain. We go on patrol with an enforcement officer catching people who drop fast-food packaging, one of the biggest sources of litter in Britain. In Essex, three fast-food giants have joined forces with local councils to catch and fine customers who drop their packaging. It's all part of the phenomenon of 'branded litter'. One strange new way to combat dogs' mess is to spray it bright pink. In Havant, Hampshire, park rangers patrol the green spaces armed with pink spray. It makes it easier to spot fresh deposits and fine irresponsible owners.
