School kids warn dog owners to clean up their act
Primary pupils are kicking up a stink over lazy dog walkers who leave the paths surrounding their school covered in pet poo.
Children from a primary school in East Kilbride, Scotland, have been working hard to make sure their local area is clean and safe by raising awareness of dog fouling.
The school hope to win a John Muir Award on the back of their campaign.
The environmental accolade encourages children to get out and about and enjoy their local parks and wildlife.
The kids put up anti-dog fouling posters and handed out leaflets around St Louise and Heathery Knowe primary schools to urge dog owners to clean up their act.
And the adventurous P5 class decided to go even further to draw attention to the issue by painting all the dog poo they found bright blue.
Pupils plan to revisit the park and surrounding streets in the next few weeks to see if the situation has improved.
