[00:53.35]Have you ever left an apple core on a bench or wall, or an empty drink bottle sitting by a lamp-post?
[01:00.12]And have you ever left your newspaper behind on a train seat when you've finished reading it?
[01:05.45]If you answered "Yes" to just one of these questions, then you are a litter lout, according to the Tidy Britain Group.
[01:12.90]Litter is a big problem in Britain. This organization is trying to deal with about 6 million tons of litter left on the streets each year.
[01:22.40]The aim is "Getting away from litter". Last year 1.6 million volunteers got involved in thousands of events-cleaning up rivers, streets and other areas.
[01:34.18]In one place 150 people collected 20 tons of litter in only one morning!
[01:40.40]Packaging makes up 60 per cent of litter dropped, and one way of dealing with this is to recycle it.
[01:46.96]Bottle banks and litter centers are appearing all over the country, but Tidy Britain says that more are needed and that not enough people use them.
[01:56.14]By the way, it appears that more men than women are litter louts.

[04:22.04]In 1985 a French television company sent its reporters to the Paris Metro.
[04:29.71]They took cameras to see what passengers would do if they saw someone attacked on the platform or trains.
[04:37.60]The incidents looked real but they were all done with the help of actors.
[04:42.64]However, very few people tried to help,and most passengers pretended not to notice.
[04:49.98]In one incident, a foreigner was attacked by three men.
[04:54.88]The attack was on a train which was quite full, and although one man tried to get the other passengers to help,
[05:02.29]they all refused. This is not only a French problem.
[05:08.16]A British newspaper reported in 1991 that a professor of Social Psychology in New York had sent his students out to rob their own cars.
