How bad is the litter problem where you live? There has been an "extraordinary rise" in litter dumped on Welsh roadsides. According to Keep Wales Tidy, rubbish was found on almost 99% of main roads. And the charity's chief executive, Owen Derbyshire, said it was "ridiculous" that "anyone feels that it's appropriate to chuck stuff out of their window while they're driving". Can you enjoy a holiday without alcohol? Spanish authorities are cracking down on tourists and excessive alcohol consumption, particularly around the areas of Magaluf and San Antonio. Certain all-inclusive packages will allow a maximum of six alcoholic drinks per day, and it will also be illegal to consume alcohol on the street. This comes as Ryanair boss, Michael O’Leary, has called for airports to be banned from serving alcohol to passengers before early flights. This is in order to reduce the number of disruptive passengers on planes. And we want to hear about your wild animal encounters. We’re doing this in celebration of the life and career of Sir David Attenborough. One of the world's most famous naturalists, he is turning 100 years old tomorrow.
