“The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia produces around 15 million tons of municipal solid waste (MSW) each year with [an] average daily rate of 1.4 kg [about 3 lbs] per person” (Nizami, 2019, para 1). With this, littering in Saudi Arabia is a common practice, making the entire desert and her cities one enormous dump sight. The unsightly garbage strewn about everywhere will inevitably limit Saudi Arabia's virgining tourism industry - even worse, it is an environmental tragedy. To counter this, an anti-littering public service campaign focusing on national pride will serve to promote the idea that everyone is responsible for keeping this beautiful country clean.
