According to a recent study published by research student Naama Lev, nearly every other person in Israel litters in nature, including national parks and beaches. The study further revealed that litterbugs are found across all ages and sectors of society, and that residents of the Jerusalem area self-reported a higher frequency of littering compared to others. The researchers recommend that the government use a combination of stricter enforcement, education and improving waste infrastructure to combat the problem. Prof. Ofira Ayalon (Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Management) and Dr. Maya Negev (School of Public Health) supervised the study.
